DON’T I KNOW YOU?

Could you spare a coin?
That’s all that’s said.
The look in the eye,
The tilt of the head,
Black broken nails
The rough matted beard.

Nicotine stained fingers,
Cigarette burns on his knees.
The soles flap from his boots,
The eyes soon dismiss you.
On to the next
The look’s soon lost.

Could you spare a coin?
