Today I saw a girl on her porch. I smiled at her, but she didn't smile back; she was in her bare feet, with bleach-blond hair--she looked mean. I was sweaty. She didn't look frustrated or malicious or evil but somewhere in between. Today I saw a man walking by K-Mart. I said "hello" to him but he didn't say hello back. I think the man was mad. I think the man was mean. Why is everybody mean? Maybe they're mean 'cause none of the streams are clean, and there's no where to pee 'cause your bathroom's dirty, and you gotta work nine to five to stay alive. At least we can't afford slaves. At least lower class can't afford slaves. Maybe they're mean 'cause they're kids are dirty and there's garbage in the street and the air makes your throat hurt badly. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe they're mean 'cause you can't use your feet and be healthy. Maybe they're sad cause you can't ride your bike without dying.
