Writing Style Attempt: Poetry.

 

From his dead-eyed stare and untethered work ethic

You can tell that the man outside your window

Has never made more than $20,000 a year.

He speaks in plain tongues.

And knows how to ignore the movement of the world around him.

This is partially why you have decided to not place your middle finger against

The double paned glass and mouth “Fuck you.”

Even though it’s 7:47am on your one day off in two months.

Even though he is wearing disposable white booties over his crocs.

Even though he can literally see the top of your head while you pretend to sleep in your bed.

You give him the benefit of the doubt –

Because solidarity for the working class is important…

Right?

 

 

 

Feeling nominally better...
