The left give up

Bent over s-d-r-a-w-k-c-a-b
Short of straight answers
Facts are foiled,
used up scratch cards 
Voting records 
line top shelves -
Adult magazines
for the few [not the many]
So many still buy bright
from the bottom.

Billie Holiday is
drowned out
by a low exhaust
She sounds desperate & drained
My legs are heavy
stuck to the floor
I don't feel like doing
anything noteworthy
Because if I try
I'll be by her side.

These days,
I see many photos of
launderettes
I don't know what each
represents.

Perhaps hope for a rare kind
of co-operation
