before she leaves
to be on her
own once more,
having worn out her welcome,
i see a note
on the table, a list.
numbered.
in block print.
rent
groceries
insurance
the phone bill
gas
and utilities,
car payment and
miscellaneous.
beside each word
is a number
then at the bottom
the sum
total of her future monthly
expenses.
below that a reminder.
to update her resume,
and get a job.
and in parenthesis,
(call an ex husband for
possible free room and board)
