I offered a homeless lady
some food to eat
and she shook her head
and said
this is good stuff, you should enjoy it yourself
I asked her what she needed
she said it would be nice
to have a place to stay, a fire, and a bathroom
and a bed to sleep in
I was silent
of course I had those things
I offered her some money and some poetry
she took out some cash
and said, I have money
the poems never really captured
the meaning of her life
I never really appreciated the meaning of her life
it would have been
like taking away her homelessness
