"Do you have any bread," he says "What for," I ask, "You called them ugly and disgusting, wretched as the refuse they're doomed to walk the earth upon," "Maybe God should extinguish their unsightlyness just for you," I tell him. They reek from day old eggs, their webbed feet calloused from nails slivered glass and cigarettes they stumble on. "Maybe i should get them some bread," he says, feed just the pretty ones the little helpless ones. Well praise the lord! My heart does sing, maybe, just maybe, I'm wearing off on you, just a bit now, afterall. [This message has been edited by inkedgoddess (08-23-2003 07:40 AM).] |
