rescued palette
turned into a shed base
purchased crowbar

May you always get up from your computer
with your headphones still attached by cable,
and may your tiny farts sound like a hooter
while in silent prayer at dining table.
May you never find again that song you liked
and can google not that TV show you loved.
May the purchase you have saved for be price hiked
and in freezing winds one hand remain ungloved.
May on both sides be your pillow ever warm
and your cuffs forever long when washing hands;
may your umbrella open backward in a storm
and your phone be signal-free in foreign lands.
These minor curses plagued me from the start
from the devil I made pacts with for my art.
