My feet ******* hurt
I've been walking all ******* day
Queens to Manhattan
Walking every ******* block of Union Square

Manhattan to Brooklyn

Brooklyn to Chinatown
Walking through a project
Project being a bunch of old Chinese women

Walking so much I can't walk anymore
My legs start to shake
My feet like they’re on hot coals

I sit

I listen to music
I stare at some *****
Some sirens scream by
Tourists looking like me look for the next sight
Business people walking to catch a train home

I sit

A friend calls
We chat about ***
Relationships
Etc.

45 minutes go by fast when your feet hurt this much
I stand and the weight of the universe shifts
Or was it just me

I keep walking
Far downtown to Bushwick
No seats on either train
Walk from the stop
Shop is closed
Stomach grumbles
Call for pickup
Walk across the neighborhood for my sandwich
Finally sit again at a pizza place with no A/C
Eat a sandwich the size of my arm and drink a bottle water
5 minutes

Dread what's next
******* some more before moving to the train
Bushwick to Crown Heights
No seats on the first train
Standing for the 2nd train
Finally I sit on the orange seats

Two stops later back on my feet
Walking 15 minutes to a basement
No matter how much my feet hurt I still walk fast when I'm scared of being mugged
First set no seats
People get up to smoke and **** and I claim my throne for the rest of the night
But my feet still burn

The night ends and I make the same walk to the train
Standing
Waiting
Couple stops until I get a seat

My feet still ******* hurt
