22.

i received a lecture

from my parents today.

“what is going to happen

when we die?

how will you support yourself?”

i am waiting for them to say,

“get a real job,

a job that pays by salary.”

i said, “i’m a failure,

i will never make more

than 100 krone a month.”

“oh grow up forest,”

my dad said,

“you’re the most whiny kid

i know.”

i laughed.
