Magazine Myths

The colorful
glossy pages
give me tips
and tricks
to look better,
feel better,
smell better,
and eat better.

But by the last
page
I feel ugly,
sick,
stinky,
and fat.

$2.98 well spent?

It's All Relative

I put on pants -
for today this is
a great accomplishment

Car Bye, Car Buy

my car's a joke                                                               

My new (to me) car!

it finally broke

now we shop
Craigslist nonstop

buy used or new?
pick orange or blue?

automatic or stick?
so hard to pick

take a test drive
hope I survive

accelerate fast
policeman passed

zip around town
must slow down

kick the tire
what's that wire?

needs work but nice
we negotiate a price

the deal is done
now driving's fun

his saucer eyes
