On the Street




A homeless man flashes me a toothy smile
It’s early in the morning
There are 20’s in my wallet
I contemplate giving a 20 to this man
How he would use it?
Can I do it?
He is hungry.

I’m beginning to liken homeless men to stray cats
 Multiplying in the city
Showing up on doorsteps
Where someone will take notice
Wanting a touch or a pat on the head
But mostly wishing for breakfast
