They call me “Shoes”

The homeless guy around the corner from me always calls me “Shoes” when asking me for “50 cents or a dolla” because I jog past him in bright neon yellow running shoes. He also has Apple earbuds in his ears , which connect to either an iPhone or an iPod, i’m not sure.

Everyone is luckier than me: Homeless dudes gettin Apple products, girls being able to accessorize with neon sh#t…mostly the last one. Cuz whenever he calls me Shoes I mostly just think of how i’d be decked out in greens and neons all the time if ut wouldn’t make me such a social outcast – like this guy. So it’s the perfect slam, cuz he’s basically saying “hay – I get to do whatever I want, live rent-free on public property smoking weed and getting drunk, listening to music on my iPhone that I don’t even know how or where I charge the battery at and I don’t even have any shame in asking strangers for money”. Dude is a hero.
