cement shoes
cement shoeshe shined on
street corners
of chicago for
45 years
during winter
in the windy city
shined inside-
convention halls
shopping malls
hotels....
a customer
had stepped
in wet cement
which hardened
he pleaded to
the shiner
" i have the most
importnat job interview
of my life in 15
minutes"
the shiner took
a hammer
he uses to
fix his shine chair
and he chiseled away
at that cement
and-
put a mirror
shine on the
frantic mans
shoes
that guy
got that job
and came
back with a
$100.00 tip
