walls fall around
ceiling full of stain
more yellow than a coward with streaks on his back
something i can do
not pay my rent
broken windows
leaking faucet
broken doors
falling cabinets
bill that are long overdue
as i think, pressure mounts up

someone is calling
cable man
con ed man
the landlord, last month rent overdue

you won't catch me in court
if i do, i'll give the judge a clear picture
through tired eyes
eyes burning
moaning from the landlord
easy to talk shit
but he doesn't live where i live
