The people who profited from the machines
had decreed they deserved more for doing nothing;
the greed of leeches keeps no bounds:
the machines would no longer take coins;
they would be converted to take a card
for which all residents would be charged
an upfront three-dollar fee;
and
there was also a seventy-five cent fee
hidden on every card-
seventy-five cents
that would never pay for a load and was thus useless
to the residents if not the owners
And the machines keep leaking
