the prize came as unexpected

a big building enough to house

the poor, the homeless the dis

possessed. it was tea and

i felt sick



i will rather give the money away

the added value of the food. ritz.



crackers. that bread can cost so much

spread with regular stuff cut thin



the waiter smiled ; i noted his shoes

an honest worker like me



alongside they enjoyed the moment

without the anxiety of my chest where

reparation fails. this is the promise

the outcome of a difficult day
