A Story by ACOUSTICSHOE

AT THE LAUNDROMAT ON THE ARMY POST ROAD:

An African American man with a leather Chicago Bears Derby and three gaudy rings on his left hand. He's telling me Louisiana's "Where it's at"` and how he's getting together financing for a used bulldozer and a front end loader. Big money to be made on clean-up government contracts, "up the ying~yang."  He's going down there to make his fortune and if I want in - all I have to say is jump. "Your loss!" He says as he finishes up his laundry and drives off in a Chevy Cavalier leaving me wondering if the fresher Hell
is being saddled with the desire for money
of flattened as I am
by the numbness
of wanting nothing.

Never get people who wants to make money off of other people's misery. It's an amusing slice of life piece. I dig that. Hey, the picture ain't showing.
