Of course you’re happy, you’re using.

    It gets me through the day

    a little pleasure.

There are other ways. Prescriptions. Therapy.

    All those evaluations.

    Questions over and over.

    No progress.

    I have friends.

    I’m happy.

You’re not working. Not paying rent.

    Silence

That’s not sustainable.

    Sustainable?

I can’t keep supporting you.

    Silence

You’ve taken what I’ve given you and sold it to others.

    I don’t have any money.

What happened to the iPad I loaned you?

    I lost it. I told my friends if anyone finds it,

    I will sell them the passcode.

I have to evict you.

    Silence.

You have to move.

    Silence.

You haven’t paid rent for two months

and the garage door was torn off.

    It was broken.

Found doors have been hung, bunks constructed

and an extension cord run from the house for a lamp,

making it comfy and cozy for your addicted and homeless friends.

    Silence.

Will you please consider a treatment program?

    I’m not going anywhere without my dog.

    And I’m not ready for those programs.

    They don’t work if you’re not ready and I’m not ready.

How can you not be ready?

    I’m happy.

You’re being evicted!

You need to prepare.

    Silence

The constable will come & change all the locks.

They will tell you to leave if you’re here.

They will put everything on the street.

    Silence.
