\u201cThey\u2019re trying to poison me,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cKill me that\u2019s what they want to do.
\nThey took my money,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cGot a quarter?”
\n“Or any change you got will do.\u201d
\nHe grinned with a broken smile
\nAs he took the dollar from my hand.
\nNodded his head and said \u201cThank you.\u201d
\nStarted running and yelling \u201cHey Man!\u201d
\nI couldn\u2019t see who he was talking to
\nFor I’m sure no one was there.
\nThe voices in his head were speaking
\nAnd leading him to his home–
\nNowhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
