this town

[penury]

yeah, babe, i know i make about twice the money you make,
and, of course, i'm never called a stupid whore or a fake
and i don't structure my life around the fear of murder, dismemberment,
or rape
but i hardly see how that has to do with our relationship

today has been beyond up-hill. as has this semester.
and i hate that i'm measuring time by semesters.
i need a day inwhich i don't think about money, school, or the future.
and to this wish i say: fat chance.
