The Bright Side of Poverty

[anotherbob]

is you never have to play freezer tetris.

Dark humor is like food.

Not everyone gets it.

I’m not about to make fun of the poor, because it must be terrible having to carry around your tobacco cellar in a shopping cart.

Everyone here is simultaneously rich and poor relative to someone else.

I remember the days when you could get change out of a cent!

At this point I feel like most people should just build a refrigerated room, I've seen enough of them in 50 year old community centers it can't be that hard.

I've never felt more wealthy in freedom than in grad school living in a rented room on GI Bill. Best of all, I knew what I had and valued it greatly. I felt like the campus was holy ground.

I can step on a dime and tell you if it's heads or tails.

In my teens I went through a stage for a few months when all I had was the clothes on my back and I lived in a cave.
I had to play cave tetris with all the chicks that kept coming round.
Plus they would bring me food and cigarettes.

This afternoon I finally picked up my new glasses, and everything is blurry. I mean, it's worse than not seeing three on a donkey, is that now I can't even see the damn donkey, just a blurry lump and I can't see three on a donkey. Can you be any poorer and more miserable? I mean, what the hell kind of prescription did the optician's store clerk give me?

In grad school, I slept in the studio the school gave me, showered in the gym, and ate whatever I could cook on a hotplate. My assistantship and scholarship only paid for classes and studio space, so….
I woke up late one night to go to the pubic restroom, and late at night was when I was most likely to get caught living there. But, one night there was a homeless man standing on top of the water fountain taking a crap. My sink…. I was about to ask him why he didn’t just use the public restroom, but he snarls and yells, “What are you looking at?” Ha ha. Like I was intruding.

I moved in with a friend before I got blamed for crapping in the water fountains.

Life throws all sorts of troubles our way. After my second divorce, if it were raining pussy I’d get hit with a dick. She took everything.

Cosmic's story moved me. A tramp shitting in the gloom, the smell had to be hellish. A big fresh melted shit, with fog and worms asking for help. Give me a hug my friend and cry on my shoulder.

It moved me too! To go find a water fountain.

Only heroes like Cosmic can approach a water source at night..............
