Debt Service
By Kurt Philip Behm
I’m running out of money,
but I’ve still got some time
and only just one question
…can you lend me a dime
My dollars spent on something
that quarters can’t divide
my nickels for what’s come and gone
…can you lend me a dime
Tomorrow comes as landlord,
whose lease you can’t cosign
my place reserved but not in ink
…can you lend me a dime
My tenancy is in arrears,
foreclosing on my mind
last chance to stay evictions sway
…can you lend me a dime
