| From the sharpie on the tile
|
| To the black mold found behind the drywall
|
| There’s an energy to poverty you can’t run from
|
| But I’m not even hiding
|
| You can adjust to anything if you’re leaving
|
| Even dollar store clorox you’re always breathing
|
| Drop ceilings raw feelings basement existence
|
| Life of a broke lonely pissant
|
| That’s just your nature
|
| Cheap drugs raw sex
|
| Low rent high drama
|
| It’s just how the ventless vent
|
| High risk
|
| Stretch plastic over broken windows
|
| To the space heater with built-in stove
|
| Bare bulb overhead lighting
|
| Mood future black hole you’re always fighting
|
| Particle board table depression
|
| Body gets it but brain misses message
|
| Tub washing clothes to save on quarters
|
| Need the money for your court date
|
| Can’t adjust (high risk)
|
| Low ambition (high risk)
|
| Nothing going (high risk)
|
| Can’t adjust (high risk) |
