the martyr Jimmy Kimmel

there's

a man, a homeless man

that i

talk to once in a while

on the street.

he's been there for years.

sometimes

he's sitting in the alley

with a can

of soup.

or a bag of fast food.

we talk

after i give him

a ten-dollar bill.

he tells me it's a crying shame

about Jimmy Kimmel

off the air

for four days.

man, he says. what's the world

coming to.

poor guy.

how's he gonna feed his

family

if they kick him

off the air?

i thought this country was built

on free speech.

he's a martyr now, that's what

he is.

don't be surprised if a statue goes

up for him.

but he lied,

i tell him. he flat out told a bold

face lie

to millions of people

and never apologized.

he shrugged.

yeah, who doesn't lie? the whole

world is one

big lie.

we need to forgive and forget.

you know he

makes 15 million dollars a year,

i tell him.

yeah, but it's a hard job

coming up with new jokes

every week.

i couldn't do it. could you?

he's under a lot of stress, i saw

him crying last night

on tv when

i went to the shelter, i feel bad

for the man, really bad.

it's a hard world i tell you.

a hard hard world.
