THINGS I'VE SEEN

Wednesday, December 20, 2017


i saw a homeless man
he was sleeping on the streets of boston
cement for a bed and the sky as his ceiling
i saw a man older than my grandpa
he was checking out a clifford book
he saw the books in my arms and smiled
the man beside him said
"you'll be reading like that soon. real soon."
and you know what
maybe there is no parallel here
i just saw something
pain and beauty
and perhaps
that's how it was meant to be

for now

  2. Whoawhoawhoa. I saw the 'for now' out of my peripheral vision before I even read the awesome thing -- but those last two words still sent me internal shivers. xxx
