hate their jobs
Alternate answers –
So, what do you do?
Stare
at clouds
and hate gravity
So, what do you do?
Hide
unprovoked erections
in my waistband
So, what do you do?
Buy
more books
then I can read
So, what do you do?
Contemplate
the meaning of it all
while riding my lawn mower
around the yard

Wipe
until I bleed
self-conscious that I’m not
clean enough down there

Watch
light reflect off
shadows twist and fall
So, what do you do?
Write bad poetry.
