down on Main Street

The shoe salesman looked like Lee Harvey Oswald
The crossing guard looked like Geronimo

The social work case manager looked like Koresh at Waco
The florist looked like Orson Welles

The dentist looked like Rainer Maria Rilke
The podiatrist looked like Abraham Lincoln

The brickmason looked like Johnny Cash 
The unemployed software engineer looked like William Faulkner

The homeless man looked like Gary Gilmore
The married father of five also looked like Gary Gilmore

And I looked like my same damn stupid self,
Not at all like Jimi Hendrix.

What bullshit.
