Flipping the Occasional Burger

How blessed to be a Gemini.
No time to focus without money.
No place to hold except this radiator,
middle of summer, fans blowing above,

fans blowing below. The cheapest chair,
new, gets buried with the desk that came
before it (if only). Trading one superhero
series for another. When to bathe is to sweat

and to sweat is to cleanse. Free is the new
cheap. Pay you back on the first is the worst.
Nobody minds, it’s only time that feasts on
all of us nobodies. Even the somebodies

get wasted after a while. Crash courses in
happiness at every lurid twist and turn.
