by busy street
you find him
with tool of trade
spread out
in quiet welcome
a missing heel
hole in the sole
a quick fix
is at hand
across the distance
scraps of paper
peppered lyrical
speaks in prose
of times and lives
another busy street
wares of words
a soul not whole
two opposites
yet alike
life's destination
transitory still
paint palette
poised to stroke
passing canvases
you and me
you find him
with tool of trade
spread out
in quiet welcome
a missing heel
hole in the sole
a quick fix
is at hand
across the distance
scraps of paper
peppered lyrical
speaks in prose
of times and lives
another busy street
wares of words
a soul not whole
two opposites
yet alike
life's destination
transitory still
paint palette
poised to stroke
passing canvases
you and me
