One dollar and forty cents
buys you a candy bar
or a bag of ice.
With what you've been up to
and the poor planning that led
to you showing up late for work
for the fifteenth time
I believe your most pressing issue
is not lunch
as much as
what you will do
to make today go down smooth.
Think outside the box.
By box I
mean reason.
By reason I
mean love.
By love I
mean if you do not
take the time to love yourself
who is going to get you drunk
and give you hand jobs under the table.
Buy the ice.
