Can the old man

Get a case of water bottles?

God damn.

God damn.

He can’t control that faucet in the sky.

Sitting on a can in the street,

God damn.

This world won’t coddle him,

Though the earth fits his calloused feet.

Can we sob? We can’t,

God damn.

About the Creator

Ann Crafter

I believe that art exists to express emotions so specific/unique that one requires an unconventional outlet to display them.

Everything I write makes sense to me; each word has a place and provides clarity to my being.
