yesterday the
banana vendor arrived late
something like 4 o'clock
we no longer buy from her
since we've taken
another

she said that her boy
fell from the carabao
had a fracture and
had to be sent to the
barangay clinic

there is no motorcycle
on the road and it is raining
cats and dogs

her fried bananas are cold
and never sold
and how much does she earn
on a day?

sixty-pesos at most
but today it's nothing

and then i remember napoles
& the rest of her gang

the rich and famous and
the honorable ones

sixty million in one blink
of the corrupt eye.

Fuckin' good.
