This poem is dedicated to people like you.
Really, to people like you.

See, without
People like you,
I would have nothing to write about.

Thank you for screwing me over.

Not YOU specifically.

The other ones!

Energy,
Zooms,
Unsigned
Leases
And time.

To all the roommates
I interviewed,
And to the
Landlords
I schmoozed,
Thank you.

And to the brokers out there
Who don’t care to know their buildings:

Is there laundry?

I don’t know. I can check.

Is this the first floor?

Maybe, perhaps.

How many bathrooms?

Hehe, I don’t pee.

And to people on
Craigslist like you,
Thank you.
