my bad

I got blamed today

for filling up someone's

gas tank

with more fuel

than they wanted.


the kicker was

that the customer

was at fault for

confirming

he wrong amount

with me.


the customer

was kind

and even

apologized

to my boss for

misunderstanding

what I had said

to her.


to my boss,

I was wrong

anyway.


you can't

fucking win

in this life.
