Holiday Shopping

Okay, so, I'm at the grocery store

watching the cashier scan my items-

candy,

cookies,

ice cream.

chips:

The four items the store rarely

has to bother putting on sale, and,

yes, I do need all four.

You see, I need all that candy cause

I don't know how many kids

to expect at my door

this Friday

and I don't really live

in a safe enough neighborhood

to feel comfortable opening my door

alone, so, see

I need those cookies

to bribe my brothers

into spending the holiday with me

and those ice cream flavors

are seasonal

meaning, special, so

maybe I thought they'd make

a good excuse

to invite someone else over

and those chips, I mean,

I gotta get my fiber somehow, right?

So those are really for me.

Okay, maybe all

of this crap

is for me.

I'll be back here later this week.
