He tells me
How his girlfriend
Makes good money
Doing tarot readings
And that I could do the same
I could teach people
How to write poetry
I tell him
The only reason
Anybody is interested
In anything
She has to say
Is because
They want to fuck her
And that I’d rather
Shovel shit in a warzone
Full of incontinent lepers
Than risk becoming
Another distorted
Idea of perfection
In some mentally
Unhinged loser’s
Spank bank
Besides that
Who am I
To tell another
Human being
What the
Future holds
