shaggy hair and grizzly
beard, unkempt clothes
and smelling of the
hard scrabble life
you live, sitting on
a random bench i
engaged you, offering
you coffee that you
gladly accepted, taking
sips in between
muttering to yourself
about who knows what,
perhaps a beautiful
mind, i have no way
of knowing but i
hope you got where
you’re going and are
safe tonight
