THE GAP

           In New York, you have the best of lives,

           the worst of lives, and some in between.

           You look at the wealthiest people in the world

           living in one section, and literally, within eyesight,

           you have people that are not doing so well.

           Sometimes, people ask me for money.

           And, usually, these are people, who

           are suffering some very serious problems,

           but sometimes they will ask . . . and sometimes I’ll help.
