From January through March I participated in a daily writing challenge – each day the people participating were given a new prompt and asked to produce a new piece. This is one of the selections from that project. The title is the prompt.

Whether three or six dollars 
Does not matter.
Fruit rots regardless.
Toiled hours lost.
Sweat sacrificed to hunger.

He takes the three.
Says thank you.
Thinks fuck you,
Begrudger of three.
