Plasma

selling plasma to buy groceries
but twenty five bucks don't go far
what with cigarettes six dollars a pack
and a quart of malt liquor
and ice cream because she likes it
and some meat on the markdown
and a scratch off because, hell,
you got to play to win
and she'll be pissed
like it's your plasma but her goddamned money
but that's just the way it is in this so-called man's world
