Paid in Full

Rent is paid today. Phone calls I have been

Avoiding have been made. Thoughts about

Where I’ve been to date have been played.

And plans for where I’m headed have been

Layed. There is no clairvoyant, neither prog-

nosticator nor soothsayer, no oracle who

Can definitively say what volume or shape

My future will take. Rent is paid today. I am

Sure of that alone. Another month has passed

Under the sun of this life I have made. Dust is

Still dust as I remain--paid in full today.
