“Homeless Guy”
shaggy hair and grizzly
beard, unkempt clothes
all smelling of the
hardscrabble life
you live, sitting on
a random bench I
engaged you, offering
you coffee that you
gladly accepted, taking
sips in between
muttering to yourself
about who knows what,
perhaps a beautiful
mind, I have no way
of knowing but I
hope you got where
you’re going and are
safe tonight
