Walking on Highway 50

Olga L. Chacon
Past noon,
I find myself
walking on Highway 50.
I feel like the wind
is blowing inside
my stomach.
Feed me, feed me.

No, wait, I'm almost
there Feed me now!
I will, I will, you're gonna have
to wait a little longer. I'll
reward you at the end, I
promise. When?

Ah...I'll pick up
one more job application,
and your time will come,
you'll see.
How much longer?

I walk in to Human Resource Dept. inside
Harvey's Lake Tahoe
Casino Resort.
"You have to fill it out here, sir."

What's going on?
I have to fill out
the application here.
But, but, you promised...
I know, but I didn't walk all
the way here for nothing.
You lied to me, you...
