In the waiting room there are copies of People
Styrofoam cups and a coffee machine
there’s a fat greasy bastard three chairs away
lousy marriage he says
lousy wife lousy job and I got this bad knee
yesiree
lousy alright
on the wall there’s a TV turned to Fox News
they’re running a clip from 2015
Obama
in Charleston
fat greasy bastard says look at that guy
I got lumbago
lousy Obamacare don’t cover lumbago
there are old creamer packets and copies of people
the smell of burnt coffee and hard plastic chairs
a vase of silk roses waiting to die
and Obama breaks into “Amazing Grace”
the Fox anchors
look at each other and giggle
lousy world
yesiree lousy alright
fat greasy bastard says I dunno why.
