I left my hand print
On a glass door this morning
And thought nothing of it
Just like your mom smoked crack
Like nothing of it
Or your dad walked out
To avoid the fiscal cliff
Of raising you
I left a hand print
Thinking nothing of Jared
The window wiper
Who makes half as much as I do
With twice as much
To lose
My existence to him
Is the effort he takes to hunch
And clean up my disrespect
Jared is seventy two
And has back problems
From "The War"
His wife is dying of cancer
And he stays late
To wipe away
My inconvenience
Jared will never know my name
I will never know Jared's name
Jared will never understand
Why some people
Can't just use the **** handle
I will never understand
How my daily actions effect everyone
Thinking nothing of it
Jared will work late
I will leave hand prints
But someday
I will wear shoes
Similar to Jared's
