Sleeping the day away
upside down on the couch.
A mailslot in the door opened,
With a box of light, indiscriminately.
A set of eyes.
The voice.
"You got your rent?"
Silently,
I put my pants on,
and let the question
answer itself.

Nice...very nice... you made the best of free-verse...I enjoyed this one. It leaves you hanging, thought-provoking, all I was looking for in this contest. Thank you for entering and good luck.
