Value Menu
In the last crisis
when your family needed
money,
time,
empathy,
anything,
your name was at the bottom
of the To Call list.
So you could sit back
with comments like,
“Yeah, that bites,”
knowing someone else
stepped up to solve
the day’s problems.
You’re the screw-up.
People don’t expect anything
from you
knowing you
stretch yourself
just twisting your mind
around your curly fries.
Yeah, that bites.
