I checked the mail box,
What now ?
What new level of fiscal hell
Does today bring ?
Overdue gas bill
Or
Past due credit card ?
My brother and his wife
Got an eviction notice last month
For unpaid rent.
So
What now ?
Where does it end ?
And how
Am I ever gonna make it through the month
On minimum wage
Even in two jobs ?
What now...
