there are worse things in life
than night terrors and terrible
jokes.
there are worse things in life
than the threat of death
and bankruptcy.
there are worse things to fear
than debt collectors and door
to door sales idiots.
there are worse things to watch
than mass suicide and
television war.
there are worse things to hear
than perfect jazz and
suffocating children.
there are worse things to admit to
than affairs and gambling
addictions.
there are worse things to comprehend
than geometry and the meaning
of life.
there are worse things to do
on a saturday night than write
redundant poetry for hours on end
while spilling cheap red wine
down a clean, white shirt
(unironed).
