In the Slum

In the Slum

A Poem by Brett Hernan




The only
cash

Some people use around here

Is stolen

And what,
Do they

Do with it?

Buy Food

The Supermarket
Change

Contains

Rare

Examples
of

Miss Struck

coins

& mint
editions

With
Only

their
First

tiny
dings

No one
gets

To keep
Them

though
