A Confrontation Looms
You think he’d be more grateful.
Neither rich nor poor he’s
never wanted for anything.
He’s always had what he needs
but never had any gratitude

in a poor neighborhood and he
got out of his car to wave the
tow truck down and gasped
at the poverty around him.
He’ll catch hell about this
the next time I shave.
