young black guy trying to sell
a Pop Art size box of Advil
to people in line
waiting to get into the Warfield
concert tonite
last day of the month
disappointment in his face
at no takers--
a different type
black guy riding by
on his bicycle on the sidewalk
talking on his cell phone--saying--
“some guyıs out here selling
a box of Advil...”
voice punctuated
by a tone of ironic humor--
and several people in line
laugh
including me and a guy
in funkadelic lime green
glitter lame` flared pants
