Dear Career Opportunity,
Sick therapy foremost hindsight.
Temporary. Foreigner.
(I want you so bad.)
I had some money invested there
that I lost in the great crater–
ocean. The ocean will soon rise
to swallow us all.
Though I don’t see my face
right in the light of others,
I belong to this horrible
middle class / swarm.
No doubt I’ll never understand
why America hates itself so.
We could have been so much happier
being broke, but instead
the work ethic sinks us. Oh god.
But otherwise it’s not so bad.
Some people in my neighborhood
had a pig in their backyard
this weekend. Pigs grunt. This one
was so black it died
without anyone noticing.
I don’t mean that as a racial
commentary or anything,
it’s just the truth of it.
Just tell me when / the next job offer
comes in from Bangalore.
I don’t want to be asleep
on the couch when it does.
