Portland, Oregon

"Where are your gloves?" A man with watery blue eyes, And steaming black coffee asks me. I almost cannot hear him over the brutal wind, The city taken by storm. He leans closer and whispers, "They are giving some away, Under the bridge." As if I know exactly which bridge he is speaking of. Winking, He continues past me on the street. Homeless, But fortunate in his kindness.
