Helping the Homeless

Charity

Park Street
Cross from the
State House
Homeless woman
Snaggletoothed hag
Ripe as a rotten peach
Hit on me
Hey mister
Howabout
Something to eat
She begged
Wouldn’t give her
Cash for booze
Called her bluff
Took her to
Dunkin Donuts
Have what you like
Pointed her bony finger
Hungry for
Something freshly baked
Sly impish look
Quick glance toward me
Then ordered
Drink to go with them
I’ll have a latte
She said with bravura
Shocked
Not what I had in mind
Of all the noive
Smile was worth it
Got the best of me
Give unto others
Made her day
