Tales of a Broke 20-Something

Just came back from the grocery store

I walked because no car

Accidentally bought too much

The bags all ripped on the side on the road

What do I do?

I thought to myself

Left my groceries on the ground

And walked to the closest store

They happened to have boxes

After filling them up

I realized it was impossible

To carry everything at once

And barely possible

To carry one box at once

So I alternated boxes

Every 30 seconds

Back and forth

A two minute drive

Turned into an hour long ordeal

A man saw me struggling

And offered his help

“Do you need a ride?”

And I thought

Fuck it.

Uber drivers are randos too

What’s the difference

So I hopped in

Turns out he owns the dispensary

Across the road

A good connection to have

Currently sitting on the floor of my unfurnished apartment

Eating a sandwich for lunch

Using a free real estate magazine as a plate

Maybe one day

I’ll own more than two forks

And one cup

Until then

I’ll laugh at the absurdity

Of being a broke 20-something

And the crazy situations

I get into
