Couch day

Ten days now until we close.
My checking account disagrees.
It cries out, "No, you fool!"
I laugh. It's a little late.

Two days work between now and then,
Sixteen hours in all.
Fiften bucks an hour means that I
Can pay three of the eight bills due.

One day spent reclined, laptop
Perched precariously atop my
Favorite boxers, searching for work
Which can't be found online.

Why do i waste my time?
