Ring by Jasen Sousa

Ring

“I’m doing so good kid.

I really think I got my life

turned around now.

I’ve been clean for six months.

But hey look,

I really need to borrow

a c-note from you.

I promise I’m good for it.

I’ve been working mad hours

at my new job, I told you right?

I’m working at the Dunkin Donuts

bringing in major cash.

But anyway, I’m just a little behind on things.”

I tell him I’ll call him right back

so I can take a minute to breathe

and decipher which parts are true,

and which are not.
