don’t jazz me around, angel of poverty
The logic was that I would befriend my creditors, take the coin of their
rehearsed friendliness, to invite Carl and Jean from First Federal
Separtist Bank, Christine from United Moneychangers, and John from the
University of Summerland Community Credit Union to my house for dinner
and drinks, perhaps some friendly matchmaking among the single set,
filling their hands with homebaked pies and quilts, showing up at their
birthday parties with elaborate yet tasteful gifts, so that when I tell
them that I am never going to work again, will never again for the
remainder of my life trade the hours of my life for money which I would
then give to those I owe, that I am a fiscal dead end, then they would
understand, or at least be pained, perhaps having to go to the far
bathroom from their offices where no one would suspect them and cry over
the thought of having to bring the weapons of debt against their best
and truest friend.
Some days it’s like you’re walking around with your ribcage open, with
your organs spilling out on the ground, only everyone’s too embarassed
to tell you and you’re so tired you don’t even notice.
