Your unhappy accidents want a word with you.
Your tenants of contingency want to speak to you.
These conditions deserve attention.
This place where we live in unhealthy.

Everyone deserves decency.

This is the kind of place you wouldn't drag you mother into.
Even though everyone's mother brought everyone here.

But if I had been in her place,
I can't say I wouldn't have done things the same.

No word's more misused than "absurd,"
But no word's more absurd than "misused."
So fix this place.
The ceiling's leaking from everywhere.
Bricks and beams are falling from the sky.

And no one deserves to live here.
