You Don’t Even Own This Land
My landlord charged me $150
for paying my rent 8 hours late.
I can’t decide if I should cry
at her office door,
write a shitty yelp review,
or email her and ask if she’s heard
2020 is a complete disaster.
I want a refund.
I want a discount.
I want to leave these 400 square feet
for more than a walk around the block.
I have 27 new quarantine plants
that depend on me to
throw the right kind of tantrum.

Love the plants need you to throw the right kind of tantrum!
Good poem. I got angry!
Dammit all, you’re right!
Amen 👏
plants that depend on you to throw the right kind of tantrum — yes! and the subtlety of “the right kind of” — good.
What she did is illegal—contact Gov Andy!!!! I especially like line about having 27 quarantine plants
