He leaves the store
and sits on the curb.

There is a sandwich in
his hand; most likely
past it's due date.

People pass, some say
hi, others avoid him with ease.

He doesn't bother to look up;
his sandwich is almost done.

Too bad there aren't any chips.

He brushes the crumbs off his shirt,
gets up and goes back into the store;

then comes out with another sandwich,
and also a bottle of water.

He chugs the water, throws the bottle
in the nearby trash can, and huffs.

He decided whether or not he
wants to start on the second sandwich;
but before a decision is finally made
he sees the bus coming down the street.

He gets up, puts the sandwich in his pocket
and goes to the bus stop.

He gets on the bus.
