Power Exchange Bullshit
I would rather be homeless
Then Owe anyone, ANYTHING
ANY Day
In This,
I find freedom.
Fiercely independent,
And unafraid
I will Shine
So I will spend 2016
As a celibate slut.
Why would I do anything?
For less than a living wage?
I would rather be homeless.
Instead,
I will march my ass all around this town.
Eagerly attending AA meetings.
Making my sobriety
an act
of Civil Disobedience.
Wouldn’t the government just love it.
If I took out
10,000 dollars
worth of student loans
that I don’t need.
So I can buy a car,
I can’t afford.
Party hard now,
so I can be a slave to them,
a slave to my addictions.
It would be so much easier to
control me
when I turn thirty.
Now all I can do is practice gratitude.
Thanking God,
for that snow storm.
For fucking off
my alignment.
Thanking God
for the 500 dollar problem.
Thanking God
for the Wisdom.
To name power exchange
Bullshit.
For exactly what it is.
Breathe into my existence,
as a runaway slave.
