Oh Sweet Nuthin’ (velvet underground cover)

Who is laughing at who?
Who is pitying who?
Cars driving past Hoover-Ville Park.
The vagabonds, at least, know their friends are comrades.
War Buddies, perhaps.
When one has NUTHIN’,
One has NUTHIN’ to LOSE!
Unlike the perpetual headache
of mortgage payments, car insurance, life insurance, ad infinitum.
More money, more problems.
More cash, more leeches to scrape off your wallet.
Poverty can be a blessing.
Dwell upon the idea,
next time,
in rush hour traffic,
you speed past,
with the doors locked,
the Homeless and I
Singing,
“oh sweet NUTHIN’! WE AIN’T GOT NUTHIN’ AT ALL!”
