My Relationship w/Verizon

My Relationship w/Verizon - by Jacopochi

Being on the phone and chats with our ISP provides me all the stress and contemplation experienced in a toxic high school relationship.

I wonder:

Why you ask me questions I can't answer, then hang up on me
Why I'm always calling you
Why you say one thing, but mean another
Why I pay for everything
Why you don't work
Why connecting with my family has to be an issue
Why I am I always waiting for you
Why your first solution is restarting - we've been down that road so many times already
If there is not something better out there for me

Day - by Jacopochi

Vacation - by Potato Sack

Vacation is strange right now. I went on vacation and stayed at a hotel - With no room cleaning except right before and after our stay. Getting breakfast at the hotel - By going to the lobby and receiving a brown paper bag filled with yogurt, a bagel, hardboiled eggs and a muffin I went to restaurants - To order take out and eat in the hotel or in the car. I would go out to the grocery store to get lunch for a road trip - Wearing a mask and staying away from other people.
