the vampire world

i put a tourniquet
around
my bank account
to stop
the bleeding, to stop
the buying.
the world is a vampire
sucking on
my savings,
my rainy-day money,
my penny jar.
the coins between
the cushions of my
couch, my car
are flying out the door.
i'm making a vow
to buy nothing today,
or tomorrow,
not a single unneeded
thing again. let's
see how it goes from
there.
