Do you know
how many times
I have resisted
buying the porcelain creamer jug
emblazoned with Nick Cave’s own
watercolor painting of the Devil himself?
For which
shipping costs as much
as a second creamer jug altogether?
For which
I would bring another year of
curses down on top of my head?
Five times, man.
Possibly six.
