"$350 a Month" by Fred Voss (1952 - )

Rooms
that hold us with nowhere to go rooms
with windows that look out on a city full of a million people
we don't know rooms
with beds that beckon us to die on them
as we sit drinking
before TVs and driving
five days a week to jobs at factories
that are not ours in lives
that are not ours rooms with walls
that are blank because we have nothing inside us to put on
them rooms
that close in on us
with low wages
and wasted years
and dead dreams rooms
that kill us
and then are rented
to someone else.
