I’m so good

at taking a
college education for granted
and watching Netflix
because the future is bright
for a semi-employable
fisherman with a
penchant for frozen burritos
and waking up at noon
with my MacBook facedown
on the floor
and a bag of Hot Cheetos
spilling onto my Walmart sheets
But today is a new day
and I have $22.73 in my
checking account and seven
more episodes of Archer
so I’m gonna fire
up the microwave
kick off my slippers
and get shit crackin’
