Sociology
Waiting in line for U.S. Commodities
I fell in love
with an Indian woman and her six kids
loading up a truck
with the maximum allowance
I took her hand
and helped her into the cab
and drove them home
where my minimum wage
raised the household income
and lowered our benefits.
When the cheese was gone
she told me to leave.
