On one dust sidewalk

A small child holds a balloon

While her father whispers on his blackberry

And her mother blankly stares

At the black road pavement

A man asks for change

He asks the father

-His finger points to the urgent call

He asks the mother

-Her hand waves the man away

Like a bee

Watching her parents

The small child grips her balloon tightly

As the man limps by

He only wears one shoe

The man doesn't even glance

At the small girl with the balloon

He no longer expects change
