Hungry.
but all I have is cigarettes,
so I smoke.
Exhausted from all this walking.
I sit down,
hand out.
Do you have any spare change?
"No, sorry."
Everyone answers the same.
Strive
(but for what?)
(you're no body)
Just a homeless man
A pillow would be nice.
But I would have no where to keep it?
My life is like a secret.
Another cigarette.
(only 2 left)
(need to make them last)
Stomach is knotted
(better find food)
I know the town,
there is a store close by.
"Hello sir, how are you?"
Fine, thanks.
I walk around the store.
The smell of food,
cancels the hunger.
But just in case,
I stole a candy bar.
I sit down to eat,
and smoke another cigarette.
Put my hand out.
(the people here are generous)
I got twenty dollars here once.
Bought three packs of cigarettes,
and a lighter.
A five dollar bill,
falls into frame.
I look around,
no one near.
It must be a sign.
Somebody is telling me to wake up, inside.
There's that candy bar.
Oh so good.
Finish it off with a cigarette.
Then I will buy another pack.
