"tonight i feel bad.
i feel bad for the overweight girl whos eyes turn downward embarrassad as if to say, "i know i am" when i look.
for the hustlers on every corner whos lines just dont work like they used to.
for the pretentious rich iowa city transplants who pretend to not see or hear.
for the blind couple taking in michigan ave unable to see everything we take for granted.
for the women with the stretched faces and deep scars.
i feel bad that the first emotion that comes is disgust when someones middle aged mom crosses to close to me, then apologizes.
for the woman i shampooed with the lump in her breast...
for the one who was raped...
for the one who says she feels she wasted her life....
for the one who feigns a smile when i ask if shes happy with her career...
for the woman who just wants someone to listen...
for the one who says that what im doing is the "best part of her day, seriously"...
for the one whos daughter didnt call...
for the woman who just wants a seat on the train...
for the overweight godmothers who have never felt a mutual kiss...
for every opening band we mock...
for the countless hours they invest just to be a punchline...
for the girls who cant walk home during night cubs games...
for the girls who dont get the time they deserve...
for the ex-girlfriends who still call...
and for all the ex-lovers who say they dont care...
but do."
