i get the groceries.

i get the groceries.
i spend my hard-earned
my big bucks, my green.
i give it all to you,
for you, (from you),

and still, you sit
in that big throne of yours,
and give me what?
life, but that was
too many years ago,

and your part was
only half the job.
i spend money, while
you spend words on
going-away gifts for

people who will
never go away.
so give me the cash,
give me the house, and
i’ll get the groceries.
