Dodge the
Hands
sunrise
to full moon
a
gauntlet from the start
panhandlers
from
every mode of fashion
he
panders “Buddy,
you gotta
listen to my story”
as if
from a ‘how to’ manual
for
panhandler success
to
empathy and sympathy
fifty
cents or five bucks
I need
booze,
Oops
I mean a
coffee
food and
shelter
too late
the
alternate need
is
exposed in the open
I reply
in honesty
“Buddy,
you got
700.00 dollars
as I need
four new tires
for my
car?”
