poem for facebook status updates

the fridge at work has frozen my chocolate milk
into a surprise milkshake

keep having dreams where i can walk on my hands

time for true blood and a homemade strawberry-mango pop

has gastritis and a mountain of work to get through
but only 8 days until he goes to zambia

has convinced my little sister to become a wino

i hate how almost all songs are about love

fuck you last diagnostic test. fuck you in the mouth.
