Usually, when items are found on the side of the road They are ‘left for the taking!’ (don't you think so too?) Not so -- When a vagabond and his scattered belongings Litter the lawn; “hoarded items unhoused.” I often wonder about the blue picture-less frame Leaned up against my wall: ‘Did I take another man’s belonging thinking it was trash?' Or was it purchased freely, Without cash?! Venture vagabond verily.
