On paying bills

Luckily,
I have the money
to make the monthly
payments
for my roof
my walls
my new vinyl
replacement windows
the doorbell
the broken front porch
windows
the back door that
sticks closed
my weed lawn
the heat
the water
the necessary lines of
communication
the poor choice
credit card debt.

Oddly, I refuse to
pay these people
on time,
somehow,
it’s worth
$29 a month
to tell them their
Due Dates mean
less than nothing to me.

I am, forever, the misdirected
rebel with odd causes.
