    SELF-CARE PLANS


    I could live in my car.
    I won’t get too cold.
    I have good blankets.

    I could find a safe place
    To park. Don’t worry.
    I will lock my doors.

    I have a cell phone to
    Call the cops if my
    Windows are broken.

    I have enough money
    To buy gasoline, oil,
    And water. I know

    Where to buy food if I
    Get hungry. Oh, judge,
    I won’t starve or freeze

    To death. This isn’t the
    East coast, where winters
    Are hell, only cold.

    I promise not to drive
    Drunk. I can’t promise
    I will stop drinking.

    It is all I have in
    This crazy world, which
    Makes the days less harsh.
