Like a coin,
It’s been flipped
And it landed on edge.
Now,
The kid returns home
And the parents ask him
For money—
When he’s supposed to climb
The pyramid schemes;
When he’s supposed to scrounge
The monthly rent;
When he’s supposed to repay
The substantial loans—
Not them.
They just wait
For the coin to drop
So they can pocket that too.

I like how the coin flip image repeats itself. I also like the ire in your voice here. It is odd how( in many cases) parents just assume that since they were responsible for their children that their adult children should be responsible for them. I get this from my mom all of the time. It's freakin annoying and you capture that annoyance well.
