Bottom Rung

This has been the busiest Jesus week.
I'm eating a bowl of rice because that's all I can afford.
And it's also all I have time to eat since I have to get downtown for an open mic.
St. John's Comedy Festival.
I'm a big deal.
Out of all of the people who don't qualify to get paid during the festival.

I'll tell you more than I'm telling you now when we're all slightly older.
In the meantime, cry your goddamn eyes out while listening to this.
If you concentrate hard enough, you're back in grade seven.
And you're dancing with Erin May (of all people).
