this morning on wednesday
april seventeenth
two thousand thirteen
a man was found dead in the parking lot
of a walmart
on a cold
drizzly spring day
wearing an old carhartt
splotched by cloudy ink stains
a white tee
and jeans so faded and worn that
there were quarter sized holes
dotting the fabric
and an old red and
white-gone-gray cap
that framed his cold
stubbled scarred scabbed face
in his pockets the following were found:
a wallet containing
seventeen dollars and sixty three cents
a bottle of forty antidepressants
minus around a hand full
the hopes and dreams of a seven year old boy
and a broken pocket watch
