2.LIFE OF LUXURY

I won the lawsuit. Commas fanned across my account balance. I hired a butler. He stood around watching me watch TV. Fun at first, but then I started to feel judged, like he knew how I got the money. I hired a maid to keep him company. They stood there staring and waiting and judging. I dropped the remote so they could fetch it, spilled soda for them to wipe up. The remote stopped working, the couch stained. I said, Fifty each to fuck for me. They balked and sued. Lost the house, lost the couch. Easy come, easy go.
