The Dealer

by Zinc Oxide

In elementary school the free lunch tickets were not a stigma. No one really noticed that you got your lunch for free but in middle school everything changes, so I had to ditch the lunch tickets for good. Money was tight, so I did what many poor kids did. I sold gum, lollipops and other food contraband between classes.

It certainly paid better than my allowance and money for lunch was never an issue again. I continued selling candy in high school but the lure of bigger money from selling drugs was always there.

    Was that you selling Jolly Ranchers in the back of Ms. Pogue’s 7th grade “general music” class? I think she was allegedly stoned all the time. Were you selling to her too?
