“They’re trying to poison me,” he said.
“Kill me that’s what they want to do.
They took my money,” he said.
“Got a quarter?”
“Or any change you got will do.”
He grinned with a broken smile
As he took the dollar from my hand.
Nodded his head and said “Thank you.”
Started running and yelling “Hey Man!”
I couldn’t see who he was talking to
For I’m sure no one was there.
The voices in his head were speaking
And leading him to his home–
Nowhere.
