My Poem: The Clerk's Dream

After a forgotten author, which the action I am not proud of.

I’m going to save

my money and someday

buy a store in the neighborhood.

Me and my wife will run it.

I’ll be my own boss.

And when I take money

out of the till

it will be all mine.

I’m going to be

on those cunning weekdays

the man that walks around the store

dominating over others

store by store.

bit by bit.

I will take the money.

It will be oh so fine.

I’m going to breathe

in oblivic space one day.

The pilot of a spaceship.

Me and my wife will run it.

We’ll live in this dream.

I’m going to save my money.

In hot pursuit with every dime.
