mud pie

 
if tomorrow is so goddamned important
than it would have shown face today

if I knew how to pay back the student loans
then I wouldn't have borrowed them

and don't tell me
that my looking forward to total financial collapse
is short-sighted
I see the long game

and I need these last few tokens from Caesar
to drink a toast to this minute

had I known that growing up
meant dispelling play

then, I would have never asked you
to etch designs
into the mud with me

and I would have asked you to give me back
my pointed stick
