A beggar I once met
at the port of La Goulette,
a begger I once met
said “good morning” to me
though for alms he asked not.

Back I greeted him while wondering:
“Then what's a beggar who begs not?”

*La Goulette is a seaport village in the northern suburbs of Tunis where different communities (Muslims, Christians, Jews, and secular (non-religious) people lived together in peace.
