My Chicago [un] Uniform

Looking for some extra cash

I sold my iPod Nano -

20 bucks is more

Than zero EBAY offers.

First time on the subway,

Third day in the city -

"Where you from?

My name is Vincent,

Can I call you sometime?"

(His shifty eyes

Darting left to right,

Vincent asked me to repeat

Every third word I said.

And his hair was fuzzy,

Like white guy fuzzy hair.

Hmm...)

SHIT.

Is it that dead of a giveaway?

I was trying so hard and

Thought I was succeeding

At looking as city

As possible for my third day.

Wow.

Macked on by a nerd

In the subway.

Who knew cities had

Required uniforms

For [desired] impersonality?
