i moved into a new house yesterday
i took the biggest room
i woke up this afternoon and
wandered a dollar general
drinking espresso
i went to look at the paperbacks
but it was actually things that
had been seen on TV
i wanted the dish soap
that washes ducks,
so i got it
i asked the man behind the counter
for a balloon
“we all out of helium”
i said,
“can you call me, when you get more?”
