i went to the corner
to this drug store
i bought
3 paint brushes
2 rolls of masking tape
a playboy
some sand paper and
a gallon of paint thinner
the counter lady said
"looks like you are going
to do some work"
I said
"no, I just read
the articles"
i walked out the door
and thought
i would really be alone
if it weren't for
my sense of humor
