The gangster swaggered down the pitch black alley like a fierce gorilla

Swung a gun to her head and slurred; “give me my money”

 

The petite girl scurried down the street

Halted, and got giddy because she found some money

 

She was prowling around desperately, clawing her way up life’s mountain of problems

She can’t feed her hunger without money

 

Chinese New Year kissed today

Grandmother tossed me a red envelope overflowing with money

 

Shopping is heroin

Just yesterday she inhaled clothes until she used up all her money

the sound of keys vibrating on the piano

white keys dancing along happily

occasionally hitting black keys

but always returning down to the white ones

a song is formed as time passes, and journey progresses

a mistake is made, the song halts…

the fingers gain composure and pick themselves up

the song ends beautifully
