He played a toy 3-string Banjo<\/p>\n
in front of Walgreens on 39thSt<\/p>\n
He’s a soldier from<\/p>\n
Oklahoma<\/p>\n
He wouldn’t talk<\/p>\n
Homeless<\/p>\n
been there<\/p>\n
done that<\/p>\n
a breath away<\/p>\n
everyday<\/p>\n
Today he used a<\/p>\n
battery operated<\/p>\n
razor to shave<\/p>\n
his head in the cold<\/p>\n
To me, he’s<\/p>\n
part of the neighborhood<\/p>\n
I got more out of him<\/p>\n
than most<\/p>\n
That’s me<\/p>\n
Brisk winds blow<\/p>\n
I buy him lunch<\/p>\n
Snow came and<\/p>\n
he was gone<\/p>\n
Razors<\/p>\n
banjoes<\/p>\n
My Oklahoma<\/p>\n
homeless<\/p>\n
soldier<\/p>\n
lunch<\/p>\n
at<\/p>\n
McD’s<\/p>\n
