inflation
Stopped on the street
by a black crack addict
I sensed an abrupt
upscaling of intensity
of demand. The knife
he held was pressed
against my skin, rather
than threateningly shown.
I asked him about this.
He said - Yes - and it's
a twenty I want
not a ten!
Muttering - This racism
is getting expensive. -
I hand him 2 tens.
