it’s early still & even though
I woke up not too long ago
I am spent
sometimes
you gotta turn the crank
before you leave (early work)
so you don’t bathroom yank
like some horny pervert jerk
not me!
I am spent
so now I go to refill my wallet
now on empty, whatever you call it
hours worked for few cents
cuz’ soon I’ll have to pay the rent
still grateful for the place I live
still grateful for opportunity to give
even though it came to this
little morning routine grift
it’s only day’s beginning
my arm’s tired, face is grinning
and I am spent
