i think
therefore i think rene descartes is an asshole.

i think
about why
i'm so fucking frugal
i'm sometimes often embarassed by myself.
which has nought to do 
with rene descartes being an asshole.  but that's besides 
the point is i'm just trying to stay sane here.

i think why i'm so cheap is my father was rich 
and we were poor relatives. 
at one point he was wanted for alimony evasion
and could not re-enter illinois. that's my patrimony, renee.
and mom fed us gray stew and moss and space food sticks.
food for thought. mom taught us
to waste not want not.

i'm still tryin', mom.
