Michelle Shocked’s song “Come a Long Way” has a line that talks about stopping by a gallery and getting a cup of coffee. When I got to that part this weekend, I was totally blown away. Imagine! Buying a cup of coffee! At an art gallery, no less. That would set a person back five dollars at least. I would have to plan ahead a couple of weeks for such an expenditure.
Yes, I’m horribly poor.
I should be comforted by the fact that the woman in the song is trying to outrun a repo man after her motorcycle. I have neither cool bike nor java. Nor credit good enough to buy either.
