Nobody Will Hire Me


Today is unfinished business. Spin the bottle for a kiss. What will happen if you eat expired peanut butter? The rusty can of corn tasted like metal. Like a dead flower with a fallen petal. I hope I don't get lock jaw. This place of poverty no one saw. Get me out of here now. A job would be a way how.
