A
drunk in the sunshine drunk in the park slumped on a bench elbows on knees
half-pint dangling straight from a bottle of the cheapest swill straight to the
heart-brain words of complaint words of prayer same same conference of no-ones.
The
many footed living passing in commerce passing in love passing with children hands
held passing passing as if they know - they do.
Two
benches down mama hand feeds track suited teen-aged daughter damaged and
drooling. Youngsters play
courtship. Abuela takes seat right next
to me works on finely wrought crocheting.
Tears
from the drunkard’s empty bottle.
Used
to having less
more is given
be it a smile
a handshake
or an
extra peso’s worth of peanuts
Many
thanks
muchas
gratias
buen
dia
Good
day.
