Hey There
Hey lady, hey lady
Hire me
hire me
I have no work for you
I say
turning into Home Depot
holding my face
straight
ahead
wearing my grey hair like a shield.
Unable to look you in the eye,
I sitting unmoving as if you weren’t
right
there
in the middle of the street
right
there
hanging off the curb
waving at me.
Hey lady,
Hey lady.
I have no work for you
I say
heavy with guilt
from the bench seat of my
pickup truck.
