This is a true story of a bus ride I had today… Only a poem or a song could make this story believable.
$198.95 for a pair of jeans,
the number echoed inside.
My ears heard before the eyes.
Sitting across with a bag
orange and green by her feet.
A voice next to me questioned
she asked about the brand
about the jeans, about the fit.
The answer struck me
hurt my insides.
The jeans were no more,
fell out of the bag days ago
left on a seat of a bus
one like this.
$198.95 for a pair of jeans
ones that she never wore.
She smiled and said
I still have the bag!
