This Is It
I took the day off and got laid
I mean I was laid off from my job
so I got laid
I got off
I also collected $200
when I passed GO
on 42nd Street and 5th Ave
GO is painted
in the clouds
on the ceiling
in the Library
where I feel like a famous poet.
And the girl next to me is picking her nose
no she isn't
I just said that
because I want to pick my nose
no I don't
I want to punch the girl in the nose
for chewing her gum loud
no
that's me
my jaw aches
like a busy housewife
who gives her husband
and all his friends
the postman
she gives them all blowjobs
and her jaw hurts
that's what my jaw feels like right now
as I sit in the NY Public Library in Bryant Park.
