Poverty, when defined by income.

Creates only one solution:
working for someone else. So

change the form of the for
for animals and problem-solving

plants. I have borrowed
for the inside of my life

the inside-out of
enslaved people and workers

who made the seen.
What are you going to do without your

underclass, where you going
to go, what are you

going to
do without your

woman.
If a nail is unison

entering into unison is violent.
Thus will I cheat

the rich out of my life.
