the first of each month
was called Mother's Day
because all the women
would get their welfare
checks and us slackers
would enjoy the spoils
just for the dick service
or a few lies but when
the money was gone the
food stamps would come
and the bitches would
use them to buy cases
of soda pop to pour out
on the ground so they
could take all the cans
back for the deposit and
buy a few bottles of Mad
Dog to drink with us
under a grotesquely
happy sun before the
arguments got started
