Sans Paycheck

There are well dressed
people running to catch
their busses. With nice
clothes and two-hundred
dollar shoes. Carrying bags or
brief cases. I am wearing
soggy work boots. Clean faces
strained in hopes to make
their bus. Mine, dirty with
holes and stubble.
They make me feel bad for
myself, not about. I have a
big negative, one of these
suites' days work made
sure of it. And got paid a
similar sum, then spent it
in flashes.
