Unemployed
Looking in the mirror
A stranger in there
Watching TV late
Absently stroking hair
Playing solitaire at noon
Eating breakfast at four
Getting dressed at six
Crying out; no more
Taking out the trash
Avoiding neighbor’s eyes
Having one more drink
Telling yourself lies
Looking for a job
Desperately seeking pay
Feeling like shoe dirt
Hoping for a better day
