Jacob Lawrence, Supermarket — Gifts for the Homeless (1994)
Mark's Pages
July 12, 2008:
Back on the street.
Once upon a time clean shaven and clear-eyed.
Now, bleary, dirty, jittery from withdrawal,
with preposterous stories of kidnap by Mexican
drug cartels and beatings by Hell's Angels.
Empty your wallet.
Buy him a set of painter's whites.
There's always hope.
