On the act of gaining hard poops

Sometimes, my thumb gets tied to the inside of a book
while I frantically look about for some sort of a book mark
maybe a fragment of paper that has been subbing as a to do list
maybe a coupon of some sort
ideally one of the "for free" business cards
that I paid $5.98 shipping and handling for
The business cards are neat, and it somehow feels nice
to have my name inside a book
though what I am really after, in life, is having my name
on the outside of books.
I am sure that this will occur. one day, when I get my shit together.
