20 Dollars

Walking, running
Somewhere in the middle
It flutters in front of me
I know and I’m excited
I pick it up as the figure slips into the house
My eyes dart around hoping the owner is gone
While I scoop it
Up and RUN
Forward to school
My mind is racing go home go to school
I stop by durn good and ask the man to watch it for the day
“ok it’ll be here”
off to school and I forget for three days
then I go and get it back
20$
now its been long enough I know its mine

this I take to Mexico and buy little girls and boys
chewing gum after school
