dear landlord

the check
is in the mail.
i sent it three days ago.
please
mister landlord
don't turn
off the lights, cut
off the water.
give it some time.
i've got
prospects, i've got
a line
on a new job,
a new
career.
please give me
a little more
time.
i know i've been late
before
but this is the real deal.
i won't let you
down.
never again.
don't change the locks
on the door.
i just need a little more
time.
