When I woke up it was raining. That gave way to a thunderstorm, and now there’s a tree down on Oakwood Ave. Liz and I saw it on the way back from the bank. The bank that wouldn’t cash my money order. The money order that Dad sent me. Which is nothing but a piece of paper unless someone with an ID and a bank account cashes it. And an ID and a bank account are only acquired with cash. So I’m kind of caught, don’t you think?
Except that Rosie has my money at her apartment. Which is good. Once Liz gets off work we’ll go and get it. I’ll ask James to cash the other money order and I’ll open a bank account with it. A savings account. Except that I can’t do that without Dad. I suppose I could set aside my apathy toward him long enough to talk business. He could deposit my money directly if I had a savings account. There are 26 weeks until I turn 18. That’s $1,300 I am owed. Not much, but not bad. And if I can keep my job at OVC for six months, I can look freely for another job, because when I’m 18 I won’t need a work permit. I just refuse to have to scramble again for another living arrangement, not so soon after I’ve gotten my first taste of stability.
I KNOW that I can work with this.
when i look around
i think this,
this is good enough
and i try to laugh
at whatever life brings
but when i look down
i just miss all the good stuff
and when i look up
i just trip over things
