Paycheck
Pulling out my card. Doesn’t seem too hard. When I’m convinced of my wealth. Despite new books on my shelf. Despite sunglasses that are new. I assumed by account was tried and true.

Do you make sure to tap all the dirt from your spikes with your bat, even if it takes two full-length TV time-outs for you to do so? Do you cross yourself once, twice, thrice, or perhaps fidget and fiddle with the letters on your uniform, no matter that they're sewn on so tightly that...

I'm just a hard working blue collar Joe whose bank account is never low. I've had all of the same responsibilities, such as paying my debts and raising...
