Debt consolidation is not easy, and we want to help you resolve your issue quickly and easily, even though France says austerity is a European disease. According to the Mizzou Mafia, the path is not easy, and we are required to treat you fairly. Austerity was difficult, and now I miss it. The autumn is not easy, but you can write us a letter and we will stop contacting you. We will stop contacting you while thousands of people in Lisbon protest austerity measures. English is not easy, if you have complaints about us, you can write us a letter, and Kenny will shift the focus on escape from austerity. Success is not easy, but we are required to notify you of your rights, even though it will stymie the funding debate. Failing is not easy, no, that’s why we are here to help you manage and successfully repay your student loans. The myth of a mass higher education system is stymieing proper consideration of university funding. Reshoring manufacturing is not easy, please let us know if you have any questions. Life is not easy for any of us, but what of that? We’re here to help you set up safeguards that will allow you to focus on what’s important. This workout is a push right out of the same-old routine and straight in to workout you-know-what.  WordPress is not easy, and that’s ok. Please note that this isn’t legal advice, we’re concerned about austerity in the tech industry. Translation is not easy, we’re here to help you appear more conservative in your outlook and cautious about your prospects. Church is not easy, but we’ve got something to help you on the right path: a march organized by the People’s Assembly in London. Life on the fringe of the major leagues is not easy, but we’re here to help—austerity can make you richer. The path is not easy, we’re here to help you understand your medical expenses, despite austerity. It’s not easy being the leader of the world, we’re not from the government and we’re here to help during this time of austerity in higher education. Loving you is not easy, but we’re diverse, and have developed services to help couples who have grown up in an age of austerity.

God: God never promises to provide equally for everyone.
 
I do not worry. I do not say: What will I eat? What will I drink? What will I wear for clothing?

Work: Having a hard time making a living

She had a job which was simple, for money. The job was waiting on wealthy guests at a restaurant. Her employer was astonishingly perceptive though wealthy from birth. Money from birth is a lack.

If we live off a trust fund. If we live off money from our family, receiving an amount that isn’t quite trust-fund level. If we marry people with more money than we have. If our graduate advisor whose spouse paid for six years of plane tickets between New York and Berkeley during graduate school says, “don’t be the partner that follows.”

The young woman at a different time had no money or job. Before, she’d an extreme surface which came from being with someone and him now being gone. For a month she ate only breakfast at the guest house with the other workers, nothing else. Going out for a walk because she felt sick and lonely and had to go out. People. Animals walking along. A laser printer strapped to the back of a bicycle with twine—went further and further past them, past the temple until stopping to drink a juice. She sat at the juice stand, shivering with sunstroke. The man there suspicious, wanting her to move on from her appearance. She was not able to continue. Realizing she was really physically sick and it was simple.

For several years, I’ve been making a long list poem called “job” or “employment.” The poem is a list of jobs. Sometimes the name of the job is preceded by the phrase, “I could be a…” or “you could be a…” etc. Last Thursday, I added “Bellhop” to the list. One of my former students told me that his mother was a bellhop for a Four Seasons hotel, and that she made good money through tipping. When my former student told me this, we were riding the bus from La Jolla to Carlsbad. I have no car. My former student has a car, but he says he takes the bus to save money. I was a horrible waitress, but I’ve often wished I could be a good one, since I made more per hour at the fancy yacht club restaurant in Brooksville, Maine than I have at any other job since. I dumped a rack of lamb with blackcurrant coulis into the lap of a woman who’d arrived that morning on a yacht that she’d paid someone else to sail up from Puerto Rico. She told me that she’d have to have her pants cleaned, and that I’d ruined her travel pants. My former student’s mother is from Puerto Rico.

Self: Oneself cannot be anywhere
 
To have violated or going against the procedures of the memoir or autobiography—by doing them.
 
She knew she could die, that she would. Actions are nothing—this is impossible. Have used them up—and writing isn’t anything. The young woman then middle-aged woman sick and with no job in the crisis—and not stylized or is, loved, and geared to this.
 
Geared to this—writing.

 
* * * * *
 

She’s given too much painkiller or takes too many mushrooms and realizes few people care about each other. She feels or knows they do not care about her—though one does. She does or they do. What does it matter anyway. Ever. And not as a negative act or frightening thing—though it is frightening. Others at other times not frightened by it. And so much over something small. Which is incredible.

My birthday is June 11, and I’d appreciate a phone call or a card.

Recording 4. “No one else.” / ”I have no spouse.” © K. Lorraine Graham. Used by permission.

No one else in the wealthy area: Received my annual social security statement in the mail today, so money is funneled outside, is in companies. It isn’t in the future. I have been working since the first Gulf War. In 1991 I earned $150. The people in offices are new, therefore it isn’t in terms of the past––My highest earning year was 2005, when I earned $36,060 in an office building on Dupont Circle. The bus which is mechanical being in the foreground––At my current earnings rate, if I continue working until I am 67, it doesn’t matter if it’s active––my social security payment will be about $1208 a month. I don’t know how old the man is, who’s old. If I continue working until I am 70, they’re not the same people, my social security payment will be about $1498 a month (So they’re seen, and not active). If I decide to stop working at age 62, a man mugging me––therefore inverted––I will get about $847 a month, not just in relation to maturity. I am eligible for disability benefits––seeing I’m frightened is almost considerate. If I die this year, by not hitting me when I struggle with him, certain members of my family though finally giving him the purse. The naiveté––on my part––he’s depressed, may quality for the following benefits. My child, he’s depressed––$965 a month––by mugging me. My spouse who corresponds to my having a job is caring for my child: $965 having an employer, a month. I’d made jokes seen by him to be inappropriate. My spouse who had offended him––reaches full retirement age: $1287 a month. My total family benefits cannot be more than $2316 a month. I make jokes because it’s in the past. My spouse or child may be eligible for a special one-time death benefit of $255, (is therefore sentient). I have earned enough credits to qualify for Medicare at age 65––I’m fairly immature in age. Even if I do not retire at age 65, and my offending him is un––I should be sure to contact Social Security three months before my intentional 65th birthday to enroll in Medicare.

I have no spouse. I have no children. I do not intend to ever have a spouse. I do not want to ever have children.
