Figure, figure, figure,
tap, tap, tap
calculate, calculate,
add and subtract
“How much was that?”
“What was the cost”
“How much did we lose?”
“Can we even afford groceries
from Save-A-Lot?”
Figure, figure, figure,
tap, tap, tap,
the financial balancing act
getting paid just enough to get “buy”
but never enough to truly live our lives.
