WHY I TOLERATE ROSS
C Ra McGuirt
i keep a large piece of white posterboard
tacked to the bathroom wall above my toilet,
& a number of colored markers
lying on top of the tank.
one night, i came in to piss,
& ross had written:
‘THE US BUDGET DEFICIT
IS A DIRECT RESULT OF SELFISHNESS,
AND THE ALIENDAMN DEMOCRATS
ARE ALWAYS SQUEALING FOR MORE MONEY
FOR THEIR ALIENDAMN CRYBABY PROGRAMS,
AND IMMACULATE CONCEPTION
IS ABOUT THE EASTER BUNNY.
-ROSS’
in green marker.
i laughed&finished&flushed&went
back to the kitchen to get a beer.
ross was throwing an empty can
into my aluminum recycling bin.
“goddam, don’t you
recycle glass
too?“ he
asked.
i do now,
& it wasn’t any
aliendamn crybaby
democrat who convinced me.
