to my next renter (poem)

I am not the best 

at explaining myself,

but go to Goodwill 

or some thrift store 

and buy the worst 

looking VCR possible 

and throw it down 

a flight of stairs 

a couple times.

unscrew the top

so you can see 

the jumbled guts,

then plug it in,

throw in your 

favorite movie 

and watch carefully 

as the big silly slab

munches away 

the tapes’s intestines

like it hasn't eaten 

for 25 years.

this is me inside.

please be kind

and rewind.
