The Listener


You are having a bad day.
You are frustrated at the dead ends
and people who take advantage of you.
You decide to go to a day shelter
just because you need a break.

Once you get there, someone wants to listen to you.
This hasn't happened for more than a month.
You rant for an hour, even yelling a bit.
They listen and sympathize.
You feel better.
A little.
