Felt kinda sorry
For the dude
Even though it
Was amusing in
It’s own way
He was screaming and
Kicking this parking meter
As if it were a guy
Who stole his coat
Or something
He said:
“you don’t get it man
This bitch owes me”
He screamed as I
Turned around and
Walked away:
“hundreds! Thousands
Of dollars! Years! Years
Of paying these things!
All I need is eighty cents!
And I want it now!”
He was still screaming when I turned the corner
