Hidden Fees
Hidden fees lurk in mysterious
Nooks and crannies
Places and traces
Of where we are, have been
Or will be soon
Lurking on library cards,
Bank and Netflix accounts…
Ticketmaster, Phone bills,
Hotel rooms and recycling bins
Cruises, flights, and rail lines
Assembly, delivery, and haul aways
National, state, and community playgrounds
Owning a pet, riding a bike, driving a car
They’re not a tax they say
And
Nothing is free they say
And that is a truth
So very true. This piece reminds me of the Beatle song "Taxman"
