My Writing

Hesitating in the Gutter

Hesitating in the gutter,
silent among soggy leaves,
a surprisingly sureal sight.

A one hundred dollar bill,
face folded in half,
emerald in a sea of ungreen.

Finally, you do snatch it up.
It's a little damp, but
it is real.

The street has hushed...
you're getting wet,
all foregone but you.

With it,
you start walking home again,
but you stop...

damn.
