I Hate My Job

Steel toe walking
With my heel swole
Fought for every meal
Saw the clock and how it feels slow
Carving with a pickaxe
Coughing until I spit black
Boss saying this kid raps
With his sick laugh
Sold his own dreams so he could sit back
And yell go team with a six pack
You can tell by the words in his eyes
That he ain’t ever tasted nothing but a burger and fries
You’re arrogant
I’m a waiter in an apron
Fake grin
Leaving your table just like a play pen
Days spent taking your order to pay rent
Ate for forty dollars and left me with eight cents
How come you don’t know how to tip
Seriously
How come you don’t know how to tip
Wise up before they size you up in the kitchen
And leave you a little something you didn’t think was missing
