pain

i've
never been
raped
on a crowded
city bus
and left bleeding
on a
crowded city street
to die
or
buried alive
by my father
and grandfather
for talking to
a boy
     but
i have felt
the pain
and irritation
of having
to unload
costco bounty
on my day off
inumerable trip after trip
up the stairs
and no it didn't end there
endless reorganization
to make room in
both of the fridges
   oh the bother
of putting
away my food
that could save
 10 starving families
 for a month
