beau sturm

 

 

perspective.
 
the gray man on the side street
asked for some change so he could eat.
i said yeah and gave him some.
didn’t make me feel good,
but it made me feel dumb.
 
there’s no difference in me and him,
except that he’s in the cup
and i’m on the rim.
 
we both don’t know where we’re going.
we have no idea or better knowing.
is right wrong? 
is godly sin?
don’t know where we’re going
or where we’ve been.
 
our skin gets warm on a summer day.
we both get happy when music plays.
we each want friends, sex, and love.
i’ve seen him get mad when he is shoved.
 
his clothes are dirty.
his face, bad.
he looks like he’s dying.
i think he’s glad.
 
he is just a man, as am i.
living for a brief moment in time.
where all is lost
and there’s only sky.
