9764. YOU CAN'T BE SO CRITICAL

YOU CAN'T BE SO CRITICAL
And you've got to let things slide : the man 
whose pants seem way too short, what's it 
to you? That woman, ten years out of date
with that blouse you've seen before, so what?
Thrift store, she's poor. I understand all that.
I watch her throw her kid around like a bag
of marbles  -  a slap to the face with the back
of a hand. Ghetto stuff, poor people, no sense
of imagination. Plus, the kid's a real brat.
Crawling out of a 19-year old Ford Taurus
this idiot guy is spitting tobacco to a Newark
Street  -  he looks backwards, to see who's 
watching. I hold a camera he never sees.
