i brush the popcorn off my jacket.
outside the theater where they show
fassbinder films
i dig for spare change in my pocket
for the homeless man on the corner of
seventeenth and arbor.
heard through the psychobabble
as he extends his hand:
“get a girlfriend
get a job
stay warm”
the things we do to be human.
