Oct 4 Places We Can't Understand: The Comcast Get-Out-Of-TV-Jail Center

Joey Sweeney
Places We Cant Understand

To know the Comcast Get-Out-Of-TV-Jail Center is to know failure up close, to be on intimate speaking terms with failure, and to know that the conversation with failure is always mostly in the bitter parlance of popular t-shirts from the 1980s: Life’s a bitch and then you die.

Poems, Shawn Kilroy

You know I robbed a bank?

I got away with it

Now I'm set for life

 

I have all the cash

I could ever need

And thinks are workin out well

 

Nobody saw my face

I didnt have to leave

town or anything.
