phoning a letter to a friend

just calling
to ask
if you can
remember
my actually ever
paying
for something
with my own money

I remember distinctly
purchasing a can of beer
when I was 17
with monies I earned
selling baseball cards
other than that
Im drawing a blank

I only mention this because
recently
we purchased
$4,000 in furniture
and Im responsible
for none of it
just like the phone bill
and the air-conditioning

have I always been
a fucking vampire?
or did I sign a check
somewhere along the line?

by the way
thank you for sending
a return envelope
with your letter
it will make it
easier
for you to read this

sincerestly,
Drexla
