Societetical Workerbe

The smells are many and varied embedded in his jeans the eye can smell his jacket the beer he had to drink is mingled with his chew or what he had to smoke wait the flaver is not write it must be chew he may not even smoke for raw tobacco that has not been burnt has a different flaver than a cigarette he chews the odor is not mistaken there his hands are pitted they are scared they match his face a man involved in working for his pay he is there to get his money for his drink and chew to get his booze that is how Society rules if the eye were just to ask him why he wants to smell that way he would just smile then tell me just to go away and then he would cry and say a real man drinks and chews and yes he smells and earns his every dollar in his Levis blues he has it all a house no car he rides the city bus to escape the DUI fines the insurance payments and his wife so beyond the middle classes he hangs his over into the next working day he calls his mess he rides he smells he works he chews he drinks
