I wanted
A new bed, couch, keyboard
Now I want
Money only for rent, electric, phone, cable
I wanted to make my life better
Now I want but to live
Somewhat as I had
I strain my imagination
For ideas for income
Considerations of my competences
Against an apparently stagnating economy
What I’ll settle for
Have to settle for
What I’ll have to lose
Can afford to lose
Can get by with
Can get by
