soup bone

you could save
more money.
cut out coupons.
you could be more frugal,
make your clothes
last longer. patch a hole,
thread a seam,
turn the heat down.
eat what's in
cupboard. make soup
out of that bone.
you could, but you'd
rather not.
you'd rather go to a restaurant
with a new suit
on
order a steak.
have a few drinks,
maybe dessert.
what's the point of it all
if you can't
do this. come let's go
together, we don't
have long.
