Down On His Luck

avalanche 
     of misfortunes
          come fast
               and furious
                    burying him deep.
                         as if he
                              doesn't...

have enough
     problems; 
          he's in debt
               at wit's end,
                    facing eviction
                         an impending divorce,
                              that's...

just the half of it!
