on a budget

coffee has gone up.
gas too.
i see a cake in the window
but don't buy it.
i'll eat
tuna from a can
until
things go down.
i'll ignore the hole
in my shoe.
i ponder a garden in the yard.
how hard can it
be?
a small cow,
a goat,
a few chickens.
a small row of corn.
i'm on a budget.
just one martini per night
now,
unless
it's friday
and you come over
to dance
and together we sing
the blues.
