panhandling daily
sympathy cards all used up
tired of all this
slashes his wrists then sits down
on the curb eating pizza
his blood dripping down
his mind is on the pizza
does not care to live
EMT's take him, fix him
72 hour hold
dude's a survivor
gets psyche evaluation
returned to the streets
proudly bragging about it
to anyone who listens
came to my office
asking my friend for some change
friend's a minister
rejected, the dude cusses
picture of humility
he doesn't ask me
he knows what my answer is
done enough for him
all I can do is just wait
then spray the air freshener
