Absurd & Untitled
May I rob this bank, please?
May I point my gun at the teller
and demand she open the vault?
I will stuff bills in my bra, my backpack,
line my shoes with twenties.
I need the money for a sex-change.
I mean, I have to buy myself a penis.
I want to look like Bob Dylan
when it’s done. The University
doesn’t pay me enough for this procedure.
Besides, I’ve heard they fire women
who show up to work with the wrong genitalia.

I love it!
And I rarely get miffed.
