CHARMING CHARITY CASE (YOU KNOW)
you know ODSP not talking cigarette smoke walls breathed by 6-year-old you know under the table for minimum wage
you know mispronounced names and misunderstood pain anger that mobilizes anger that boils in melting pots to small towns
iAM POETRY 2020
you know broken kids broken school systems broken homes hustling the games the language of hood rat the language of too poor to be understood rat
