Encounter

Dangerous

desparate, with a gun?

His toothless smile is hideous, don't look

Not brave to show it, stupid

From head to toe

Not like me

Never like me

Hurry light-turn green

Go!!!

My home is on Bountiful Boulavard

With Shiela Stepford and 2.5 kids waiting

At the Wrought Iron gate

His teeth, pearls

Coffee, get the mail, relax, but

A letter from his place of employment

"Due to recent cutbacks, you've been let go"

The decent begins

and a tired soul starts walking

soon to meet others who

tradded in suits and ties

Stuck at the Red light

Begging.
