Pinched Offerings
I read about the fire victim gift cards
with funds drained before they’re swiped,
victims victimized again
who is spending their money how?
I don’t understand it
but it galls me
now I worry that we gave Jerry
who brings our mail each day
worse than an empty envelope at Christmas –
one full of broken promises instead
but I’m not sure how to politely ask him or them
if our gift let them down
