The Great Depression

The Great Depression

A Poem by Heather Clayton

dirty grimy jeans slipping off
unwashed limp hair in my face
leg hair grown out so I can touch it
underarms stink, full of piss smell
feet cracked, withered and raw

I have been walking a mile
that is the distance of my life

I fall
