The Game of “Life”
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.

Very relatable. Nice rhythm. Good writing, Alora.
