CHECKING
Checking and checking and checking.
THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Is I don’t have premium.
ROLE PLAYING
I’m a block of suet in a cage.
Birds peck at me like Roman numerals.
MEMORY CARE
How many of the 17 avenues in Monopoly can U name?
TWO CANS OF SOUP
That’s what anger can do:
Make you crazy. Who goes to Walmart
Just to buy two cans of soup?
SCREEN POSITIVITY
I believe in what I call
Screen positivity
She said
Of her entertainment philosophy.
PLEASANTVILLE
Deadly nightshade is actually just rude more than
anything.
And dead man’s curve is a straightaway.
ABACUS
Your activation is required.
HAPPINESS
It’s on the truck.
REWILDING
Home from skoo.
TWO HOURS OF HOLIDAY PAY
The lady goes it’s clearly stated in the handbook.
I told her oh no I researched it.
I told her I said I’m calling the labor board.
MEAT PHONE
I mean yeah in a way it’s kind of neat.
Definitely a total niche thing.
CLOTHES
I haven’t worn this in forever.
These I never wore.
WORRY
Is my identity now at risk after holiday shopping?
DREAM COME TRUE
I’ve always wanted to live in a shithole country.
Now thanks to your ass
USA USA USA.
BREAKFAST SPECIAL
I’ll take the two eggs, half waffle, half armadillo.
The armadillo real crisp. It'll break if you drop it.
