rub the soap till it’s petal thin,
water in shampoo to keep it swell,
same clothes color fading,
washed over and over till they’re raw,
get on the bus and soak in sweat,
every coin counted without a miss,
light cigarette after cigarette on evenings,
bite your pen smile through teeth,
half to me and half to she,
break your soul into pieces,
day after day after day.
