my lucky day
by J.J. Campbell
a telemarketer told
me this morning that
i had been selected to
try blah blah blah

but my hung over
apathetic ears
heard i had been
selected to die

that definitely piqued
my interest

filled me with the joy
of my lucky day
had finally come

but as i listened
more closely i
snapped back
into a coherent
reality and realized
i'd been selected to
try a digital satellite
system free for
a month

talk about a
disappointing
start to the day
