What color am I?A Poem by TTBoy28
You may see me on any given day in sweatpants wearing no underwear while walking my dog Although I am clean you cross to the other side You may see me in the grocery store sliding a food stamp card through the machine Although I am clean you just shake your head in shame You may see me in the bank asking for my balance and overhearing that I am overdrawn on one account Although I am clean you try and talk over me to get assistance You may see me at the Post Office frustrated trying to pick up a package Although I am clean you constantly clutch your purse and fan yourself as you sweat You may see me at the gas station only putting five dollars in my tank Although I am clean you hurry to get back into your car to avoid speaking to me You may see me at church on Sunday with my hands folded, head bowed, sniffling Although I am clean you want to feel sorry for me You may see me on any given day sitting on a bench without a briefcase and feeding the pigeons Although I am clean you think that I am homeless You may see me at the Unemployment Office taking the next number to be assisted Although I am clean you wonder how I got the job
You see me every single day What color am I? © 2010 TTBoy28 |
