Cutting up Money


Cutting ~ 

the grass, random shoots of green
a bolt of cloth, pieces of fruit or cuts of meat

household bills, credit cards and taxes
programs and corners to make something else fit

each time a cut is made,
money is used differently

shaving down amount of money spent
balance the money on hand with need vs want

the quick of life is different for everyone
some cuts are at the whim of another's distant judgement

cutting too close just might devastate
needs are not one size fits all

in the up close world, individuals are responsible for deciding
which cuts to make; where and when to make them

“Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.”
~ Aaron Paul
