Streetlife

Cold and wet

Full of dread

The storm has no mercy

It's dangerous to be out and about

But there's nowhere to flee to

No available shelter through the streets

Has come down to a single cardboard box, held up by two sticks

Just as I mentally curse out the selfish dicks passing by,

 I am tapped on the shoulder

I turned round and find a smiling face.

I didn't know this man- seemed taller, and not much older

He looks up at me, still smiling, and says nothing.

Pulls out his hand that is holding a grocery bag.

Curious, I grab it and find

A winter coat, a black umbrella, and fifty dollars in cash.

Smiling back, I go to thank him so very much, but just like that,

I'm alone again.

I don't think I'll ever forget it.
