Dressed in Tatters

 

He thought He’d fool me,
Disguised in trodden threads,
Splint visible — teeth battered,
Thru eyes bright — piercing.

 

“Help me — I need to reach
Norfolk thirty minutes away.”
“I’ll give you a dollar.”
“The fare is three forty.”

 

I gave Him five;
He thought He’d fool me,
That I would judge
Him dressed in tatters.
