back to the basics

getting back
to the basics
you quit your
job and grow
a beard.
you sell your
car and buy a horse.
you get a butter churn
at a yard sale
in pennsylvania.
you make a shirt
out of a burlap
bag and build a
shanty on the edge
of town. you cash
in your retirement
fund and get some
hay for the horse.
you buy some chickens
too and a goat.
you like cheese.
you like milk too
so you get a cow
and some buckets
to squeeze the milk
into. by day two
you are exhausted by
getting back to
the basics and
realize that you've
made a big
mistake. day three
you shave your
beard and go beg
for your job back.
