what they don't know (quite yet)

by Melanie J Yarbrough

you know
I'm feelin like a hobo
at a lemonade stand
asking little kids for money
And they only give it to me
cause they're young
and haven't learned
the word
alcoholic
or that they're supposed to hate me
-blame me
for the wrong and filth
in the world
even though
-i swear it--

it wasn't me

yo, i read that like 3 1/2 times. that analogy is like nothing else i've ever read, and i guess that's a good thing. nice use of italics, and i love "i swear it", at the end.
