“Self-Help” Housing

I called all six
Of the landlords
On the list you gave me

Three said
They have no
Low income housing
Whatsoever

Two take only men

The last has a waiting list
Two years long

Would you like me
To give you that information
So you can update your files?

She answered
One word

No
