My old man home schools me in the inner city
“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, he says,
“our unalienable rights per the Declaration of Independence.”
I see his wretched Life – wrinkled by the three jobs he had
All gone since the virus hit, and his wallet empty
Liberty is to have the last slice of bread, or to save it
for tomorrow
And Happiness – what is it?
