First Paycheck
By Joseph Benavidez
How did you spend your first paycheck?
1968? I didn’t, didn’t spend it right away
waited for other checks
already a middle-aged loser
I put it in the bank,
never looked back
(until)
Digital camera, clothes-TJ Maxx!
winter coats for my brothers
and food. Food.
(wanted) portable cassette player.
