sheep to the slaughter

with peach fuzz
on my
chin and cheeks, a pocket
full of
hard earned
cash,
i walked into
the dealership
to buy my
first car.
oh,
the salesman said,
wiping
the oil
from his hair with
a rag.
you want tires with
that car?
a steering wheel too?
undercoating?
you want
the deluxe version
don't you?
