Battery Operated…

He played a toy 3-string Banjo

in front of Walgreens on 39thSt

He’s a soldier from

Oklahoma

He wouldn’t talk

Homeless

been there

done that

a breath away

everyday

Today he used a

battery operated

razor to shave

his head in the cold

To me, he’s

part of the neighborhood

I got more out of him

than most

That’s me

Brisk winds blow

I buy him lunch

Snow came and

he was gone

Razors

banjoes

My Oklahoma

homeless

soldier

lunch

at

McD’s
