Countdown to homelessness

10…9…8…3..2..1… Vamoose
oft times motivations quits
for -- no money iz the pits
without any rich uncle
(sam) in my orbitz
2 ease worse case
than bing covered
head 2 toe with nits.

---------------------------------------------------------
medium of spoken and/or written word
 avast milieu this scrivener doth assay
the aim missive constitutes avoiding
   living in cardboard box or bidet
house zing debacle looms approximately
   soffit teen eaves from 2 day
---------------------------------------------------------

June thirtieth two thou
sand seventeen indicates
   when rental lease
will find our psyches fillet
so this buster brown
(actually caucasian)
   hoops to stave off
turning fifty+ shades of gray
weigh past time of life
   to gather rose buds – boot hay
touted as AARP candidate
   my inner child doth inlay
I approach outer limits
   per twilight zone of this a curry
zee youthful mwm  -
   does not buck and neigh
against mortality reckons,
a safe and secure domicile
   important basic needs
(codified by Abraham Maslow) – okay
this LVII year young chap
   haint expect tin tubby be housed
   in courtly manor –
   yet anxiety sans poverty will play
a cruel trick finding me
   to jump off a bridge –
   with pier sing quay
King Crimson red dee
   to bring cessation of existence –
   when nada ray
of salvation pleasantly doth sashay
and bring relief b4
   unwelcome ominous killer fate
   inches closer incrementally from today
this father of deux darling near grown daughters
might fare better brexit ting America
   high tailing dreams to Uruguay

---------------------------------------------------------
cuz nary a snow ball chance in hell
   this elder er will nab employment
since receiving social security
   emotional disability for countless years
   (viz anxiety, obsessive compulsive
   disorder, and prone
   to become emotionally panicky
   and paralyzed in social situations)
   relies on following medications,
   which alleviate, calm, and endow
   relief (from debilitating, harrowing,
   and lacerating quality of being alive.

---------------------------------------------------------
1. Clonozepam 0.5 MG Tablets;
    (generic - Klonipin);  (1 tablet 3x daily).

lack of money will pit and/or put us in a stance of bias, discrimination, fugetaboutit        
   thus this body and mind own true grit.
