my not-so-bitchen life

i am
thinking of the next thing i have to buy
to own
because
i do not own enough things
and if i
own more things
then i am better inside

and i am
eating bright fake sushi in a
strip mall
in fairfield


and i begin to dangerously
think about
how i feel

and i am able to easily divert that
as i am
comfortably safely distracted familiar
by the sports programs
flickering on
the large flatscreen tvs

and i realize
i need a larger flatscreen tv

and you are talking to me
and i am multitasking
and watching hockey recaps
and looking at flat screen tvs on my iphone
and listening to you say something about sushi

and my body may be
exhausted
but luckily i am fueled by
19.7 ounces of
assorted starbucks fluids

and i am sitting in a strip mall sushi place in fairfield
and i am getting a great deal on a 47 inch flatscreen with money that is virtual
and you are saying something about how you feel
and luckily i am not listening but instead watching baseball highlights
and crunching on crunchy fairfield dynamite roll fantastic
