Stretch Without Rest

prudence davis,
a friend in need is a friend indeed.
why?
what does this statement actually mean?
oh well, it doesn't matter anyway
not now.
my day is going really well
i got up at 6:45
went to work
had a great day
(despite lacking sleep)
walked home listenin'
to Modest Mouse
(they're coming in 2 wks to the Newport)
(i just looked at the clock, it's 1:23)
stopped at a yard sale
found a blow-dryer
and a Paul Bresee's exciting
adult game from 1962
for $1.00 each
but i din't get those
at the initial stop
i just had to have
this wonderful little
silent printing
Canon Typestar 6
i only had $27 to live on
for 4 days
but i said screw it
when i arrive home
waiting in the mailbox
for me was a paycheck
from 3 months ago from Elevator
and also a coupla
little treats from
my little sister.
went to family dollar
for batteries
then back
to the yard sale
for my blow dryer
and game
(the exciting adult game)
(it's only a drinking game)
(where's your mind?)
then i got to
get high for free
with marcella
(who is a big
fan of my photo-graphy.)
now i'm home
listening
to Building Something
Out of Nothing
which is exactly what
I'M trying to do.
all while wearing
my favorite blue shirt
and huge ass
cargo pants
and my brand new shoes.
i'm gonna work
on my picture frame now.
