after those poets I just met who write very differently from me










a poet,

never wrote in New York but went to

Chicago today bought some poems

off a man for a dollar

which decreased my currency

to where I now have

27 dollars in all to my name.

just found him on facebook though

was I hustled? I don’t know

the end rhymes banged me over the head

for a while. it was still good shit,

true shit, give-a-dollar shit,

cause the wind wasn’t getting any better

even if it was just

40 degrees in January in Chicago.

maybe more than food

people need support.

but nah.

that dollar prolly got him some candy

or a burger at Mcdonalds.

you try to do some good every now

and then.
