Pass him by
but make sure you hold your breath.
Pass him by
be certain your eyes don’t catch.
Pass him by-
if you look, you must give up your coins.
Pass him by
if he doesn’t exist you are free from your guilt.
Pass him by
do not say, “Hola” or smile.
Pass him by
he is scum and annoys with his presence.
Pass him by
the streets are all plagued by his begging.
Pass him by
and your demons will stay in his song.

every day those coins
feed you sandwiches

today i went to the grocery store
and squeezed all the tomatoes
while no one was looking

i think of cafe con leche
and make you a better sandwich
in my mind
