slight ache in my right shoulder blade let’s me know stressors have been mounting building slowly, at first with a struggling child in college algebra a wife irritated with her perfect job an old dog leaving a tinge of red behind when he pees on leaves I absorb – late payment and a new billing statement showing disregard for salaried employees direct deposit on the last day of each month means the last week of each month I do my best poverty impression complete with meatless spaghetti and dry oatmeal – slipping back I put on my hustla hat and try slinging the cure for pennies and a greater credit score but the flooded market has everybody sitting with slit eyelids and orange fingertips -- nothing to do now, but wait

hey brother, can you spare a dime......bag
slight ache in my right shoulder blade let’s me know stressors have been mounting building slowly, at first with a struggling child in college algebra a wife irritated with her perfect job an old dog leaving a tinge of red behind when he pees on leaves I absorb – late payment and a new billing statement showing disregard for salaried employees direct deposit on the last day of each month means the last week of each month I do my best poverty impression complete with meatless spaghetti and dry oatmeal – slipping back I put on my hustla hat and try slinging the cure for pennies and a greater credit score but the flooded market has everybody sitting with slit eyelids and orange fingertips -- nothing to do now, but wait
