the stack of bills leans toward me when I walk by
somehow they know they are overdue
I can hear them whispering
x amount due after this date
x amount due after this date
x amount due after this date
she took the tv and the box spring
the tv I don’t really care about
but I should’ve known better than to combine our beds
now there is a strange dustless square on my dresser
that I don’t want to wipe clean
and I sleep on a mattress on the floor
