CAN TELL
was banking on
a short queue
not this fat elastic
anaconda
attempting to
impersonate infinity
too fat lazy to even
attempt a decent slither
(went to McDonalds and
swallowed everyone eating
a cheeseburger did we?)
but this
slouch belly
is full
to the brim
with debt or
disposable income
(and you
can guess what
I’m going with)
inching forward towards true
hopelessness or
financial redemption
closed not
open-
ended system
far
as I can tell
(only the teller
can truly tell)
