The Economic Cure for the Blues

I buy things to make myself feel better.
I call it the economic cure for the blues.
Pretty original, no?
Maybe a really expensive pen,
A large amount of food,
Heaps of books or CDs.
I let these things collect around my house--
I look at them now and then for reassurance--
And then when I am no longer blue
I throw them out the window
Onto the lawn
And let the birds have at them,
Perhaps to make a nest out of unread pages.
Invariably, I will get blue again soon following this purge
And wander sadly onto the lawn to look for my things,
Only to find them devoured and carted away
By the sickly utilitarian animal kingdom.
And so back to the Mega Mall I will go
Armed with money and blues
And an eye for books that will look good in trees.
When I run out of money
I open my closet,
Which is filled with slingshots,
Polished stones,
And ornithologists guides.

steam as words
why blame the birds?
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird
not where it should
birds have brittle bones
then wake up
cold floor
