 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

HELP THE POOR


I had just come from the cash machine
Woman walked towards me looking sad and lean
She didn't know I saw her car so new
A young girl from the same Suburban walked too
Both went to a different door at the bank
Seeing this young girl from pity my heart sank
Downcast Mom handed me a note, "Deaf,need money!"
I tested her hearing, "Do I look like the Easter bunny?"
The look was mean and nasty she heard every word
I left her with these words, "Teaching daughter to scam absurd."
She gave me an obscene gesture every word she heard
