but i'm a good person

i'm a good person
she says, drinking
her hot chocolate.
just yesterday
i held a door
for someone even
though i had
the right of way.
why do these
things happen to me.
my car broke down
and a blister broke out
on my lip last night.
and get this,
just this morning
my shoe lace broke
and i almost tripped
taking out the trash.
it almost seems like
god has it out
for me this year.
i can't wait for
next year, get god
off of my back.
you nod sympathetically
and say something like
pfffft. god.
then you notice
a drip of hot
chocoate on her
white blouse, but
you don't say anything,
you let it go.
god needs a break
every now and then
too.
