I don't mind being raised in the cheap,
Mother scrimping and saving every penny
she could find, to cut the corners to the future with.
Somebody has to live that cheap for others to set up
the waste-for-profit schemes that are modern Capitalism.
Where cheap living gets difficult for me
is the isolation and lack of skills that comes
from me living within my means.
When grown up friendships cost money,
and a social capital that I was raised to live without,
then a cheaper past means a cheaper future,
where the most I am to aspire to
is that my cheapness 'is sustainable'.....
