Thomas Fink – Volcano Interruption


Thomas Fink

Volcano Interruption


You use these pockets

as a garbage can.
If seats
were toilet seats,

you could go
whenever you want.
Even in the GMC.
What do you like best: gum,
chocolate, or money?

I think cake
should be the next president.
Let Dad have it; he

doesn’t care how fat he gets.
