frequent flyer mile restrictions
 
I shudder beneath my blankets  
 
And there she is again  
 
that girl  
in that little village  
that has no clean water  
 
I laugh  
 
a minute ago  
it was the great wandering dog  
without a home  
 
it melts away  
and she and her cub will drown  
 
or starve  
 
or both  
 
too much  
too little  
 
but what am I to give  
 
a fuck  
 
sorry I don't  
 
just $1.25 a day  
he says  
the price of a cup of coffee  
saves the girl  
 
and her family  
 
$2.00 for the bear  
 
my Glivec is $298 a day  
 
$79 in Mexico  
 
I guess we all live in the wrong place
