Hedy

Cliff

I never thought that my life would be like this, always so close to the edge.

I thought if I played by the rules and paid my taxes, things would be ok.

But the rules are broken, and the taxes go nowhere; I hide every

bill, stretch every pound, lie awake in fear every night.

I want to rage, to riot, to break those who made the

broken rules, but I know if I do I will fall.

Every day the cliff crumbles, and every

day the open air looks

inviting.
