one hundred dollars

she asked me
to tell her what I was wearing,
and I said
a kelly green Stand for Children t-shirt
from the march in DC, 1996,
and khaki shorts,
and my hiking boots;
and she let out
a little laugh, and said
"oh we are going to have to
work on that,"
and I said "work on what?"
and she giggled, and said
"your look, baby, your fashions"
and I laughed nervously,
since I made
one hundred dollars
in the entire month of June,
"my look" is way,
way, way, way, way,
way, way, way, way
down
on the end of my list.
