today was not a great day
even though the content was mostly well meaning interactions with helpful people

but
when the system doesn’t seem to want you be part of it
all that the kind people can do
is tell you what your problem is,
not solve it for you –
let you know the next step
and wish you good luck
on your journey towards the next gated stairway to a bank account
a social security number
a post paid cell phone plan

honestly,
if my address on the top floor of the upper west side can’t get me there
how the fuck do you expect the people on the streets to stand a chance
