6.

there are times when
you are very poor
and then
you are very rich,

times when you
are cold inside
and then
warm,

times when you can
get all that you want
and times when you
cannot have a thing,

times when you are hungry,
and then you feel full,
times when you feel full
and then are hungry again,

there are times when you
are alone and times
when you are loved

times when nobody can
spare you a cigarette
and times when you
have a full pack in your back pocket

times when you feel like
another person and
times when you are truly
yourself

  but mostly there are two distinct periods in life:
         there are times when you have socks and
       times when you do not.
