HAVES   AND  HAVE   NOTS

That’s us, all of us,

haves and have nots:

a sense of humor,

the ability to speak in both Spanish and English,

a wallet with several credit cards and many $20’s,

a car that smells new,

an 18 year old body,

some stories, some regrets, some envies, 

a unique laugh,

the ability to still run up the street in the rain,

a hurt from way back,

loneliness when going by a certain cemetery,

some humility from a really broken marriage,

a fake Rolex watch,

a trombone I used to play,

some really old baseball cards,

a red Hulu Hoop I used to be really good at.
