the only thing worse than living (revised, liberated) (Free verse) by Bill Z Bub
the only thing worse than living
is the drone
of unhooked phone.
get stoned,
and find that warm spot by the heater.
an unexpected note
and simple handshake
are profound.
death will come anyway,
so wash out that wound,
listen to the sound
of morning traffic
and don't forget
to smash that asshole
in the face
when he comes around
to collect.
