Pants Win Over Homelessness by ~BitetheSun:iconBitetheSun:



Today we notice pants
In denim shades of brown
Black tights under skirt
          Hey, gotta quarter?
Colors that smear under the eyes
Dirty, dirty mud
          Any spare change?
Don’t look at the denim
Fade this cotton under my nose
Distressed and broken in
         Worn like his face
Done in by lasers and pumice
The latest technology, I ensure
           I won’t lie, I need beer
Flash this brand name
From you ass, honey
Shake it a little here
A lot more there
And we trust it to sell
          But don’t make eye contact
Don’t make eyes at the boys
          If you give them money
          It just encourages them
They don’t understand pants
You should get jeans
That will make you happy
          But, Christ, people
          Stop caring
          And they will just fade away

Faded for $54.99
Distressed for $65.99
          Don’t make eye contact
          Walk on by
Buy your pants

I work at shelters and it always makes me angry when people don’t even make eye contact with homeless people. And that is an annoying way to classify people, and if so suburban slackers like ourselves should be called the homefull. That makes no difference in love, personality, worth.

Some people care more about jeans than another human being.

This thing bounces all over the place and yet still remains extremely effective in delivering your point. I love it.

Danke. I try to keep to the point, but the cursed head of mind just wanders.
