Don’t Look At Me Like A Creature From The Black Lagoon

I love the look on people’s faces when they see me on the weekends.

I’m not dressed up.

I don’t show my boobs or my ass.

I just lounge.

I love my t-shirts especially

black t-shirts.

I love my jogging pants.

Do not look at me as if I am a bum.

I’m doing my rounds, errands for the family,

and then you know what my plan is for the day?

Sitting in front of my computer.

I’m writing something,

and if I’m not writing,

I’m still at my desk with a Poets & Writers Magazine open on my lap.

Yes, I still read actual magazines.

My brother gave me a Kindle.

I gave it back to him.

That’s not a book,

and if I want to lounge,

and if that bothers you,

then like Gingy from Shrek said,

“Eat me.”
