The Porch Swing
Sunday afternoons I spend my time staring at the porch swing outside my window. I don't know why I keep the damn thing; I haven't sat in it in nearly two years. Well, it probably has been longer. I have grown too fat, and the strings are too frayed. I guess I am still waiting to lose weight, but who loses weight anymore? I mean, health is so passé, plus I have the money to pay for companionship. So why would I bother losing weight and why would I keep that damn porch swing? I guess the only reason why is a reminder of a life that existed for me a while ago. A life with a wife, kids, long walks, and salads. But fuck vegetables, right?!?
