unable to breathe,
i find
the rescue inhaler and sit on
the curb,
taking in a few
puffs
of the chemically induced
air.
i try to catch
my breath
in this oppressive heat,
my head between
my legs,
feeling weak.
i take my hat off and rub
the sweat
off my brow.
someone walking by puts
a five
dollar bill in my hat.
in about an hour i've made
over a hundred
tax free dollars.
ay caramba,
i get it now.
