XES

I saw you standing in line for the club and you were hot, a small Angebot
I pondered for a second if you were worth the shot– shit, I had forgotten I was still on Hausverbot.
So I left and got back home
and in the mailbox I found all that I was looking for: every S/M pamphlet for the upcoming week
neatly tidied, wrapped in plastic, so chic!
I lied in Bett to read them all
while on the laptop I was streaming porn and suddenly it occurred to me how truly full my life can be:
I sticked to my extensive list
and stocked up on almost everything.
I scrolled deep down in the grid
and fucked them all, without really thinking it.
Inflation is not an STD
but maybe loneliness is one?
The planet, the economy and the elevator broke and here I am clueless and broke,
if my fridge, pantry and ass are so full
why do I keep feeling like a fool?
You know, there are many things I’d like to do but nothing beats going to REWE with you.
