-debt Service-

I’m running out of money, but I’ve still got some time and only just one question …can you lend me a dime My dollars spent on something that quarters can’t divide my nickels for what’s come and gone …can you lend me a dime Tomorrow comes as landlord, whose lease you can’t cosign my place reserved but not in ink …can you lend me a dime My tenancy is in arrears, foreclosing on my mind last chance to stay evictions sway …can you lend me a dime (Dreamsleep: January, 2022)
