The Price of Rent
how is it
that I come to worry
over an old man
who takes
23 thousand dollars
a year from me
so I can pretend his house
is mine
until
he sells out from under me
it’s a kick in the teeth
so hard that the wind
escapes the lungs
and the hills get so big
you don’t feel like
ever crawling out

Perfect.
Wow:
the wind
escapes the lungs
and the hills get so big
you don’t feel like
ever crawling out
