no money to fix things anymore

i should have thought longer
and harder
before renting out the three floor
walk up
in Brooklyn, but the price
was great.
i could see Manhattan through
the barred
bathroom window.
but then the heat went off,
there was rust
in the water, mice were everywhere.
i called the super
and gave him my list of complaints,
but he said, sorry,
no dice, nothing i can do.
the mayor has cut off raising
of the rent, so i don't have the money
anymore to fix things.
sorry dude.
try some cheese and mouse
traps, maybe
bottled war
to shower with
and an extra blanket at night.
rent's due tomorrow, by the way.
