amid the home city
in a tent
of boxes
a tune about the homeless
rant

I gave a guy with a sign
at the convenience store twenty dollars
the other day
wondering what he did with it

often wonder the political ramifications
is that disincentive
I may have ruined him

did he go buy a rock crack up
and fall out of his
abstinence

maybe I should have given him
ten dollars
**** I feel guilty
