Small Entertainments 

Most of my boxers
have a gaping hole
underneath where
my balls laid comfortably
cupped—
now they spill through them
all hairy when I wear them
because I have no lovers
so why bother to shave.
I don’t know how and why
my boxers have those holes there
but there they are
and every morning
I wear them 
and I see a testicle
spilling through 
and although this is
such a clear attestation
of my financial struggles,
it puts a smile on my face 
every morning.
