Every month begins
with its engagements.
Demanding calls
salary, grocery
power bills.
Well into June
little out of peak summer
electricity usage has gone
up in the past month
AC running most hours.
tariff reaches the top slot,
outflow increases
in proportion. bills
four digits turn into five
a pressure on the purse.
Every season has its
own terms, either way,
I fall into the strata,
facing incremental
obligations every day.
The first week spent
on disbursements.
Procurements usurp
the second, the last two
is spent on reconciliations.
Moving like a robot,
while fixed propositions
take off smooth. variations
lead to a tumble- fundamental
of economics.
