he lied down in the parking lot
at the local Safeway
on a tuesday at 3:00 am
he thought
the tracks would have been better
how pathetic
to fail at dying
a homeless man approached
carrying garbage bags of empty water bottles
and offered him a beer
they sat there
drinking in silence
he lit a cigarette for the ***
what is your secret
nothing replied his eyes
