Ambles, shambles
from the bench to the bin
Brain craves for meths
as body cries “no more!”
His brain rules his body
and he rolls the remains
of dog-ends from the bin
and begins
the day’s lonely spiral
to oblivion.
Oblivious
to my observation
but I observe
and offer a coin.
Each to his own end.

Observant, thoughtful and yes… to each. Nice composition, Chris.
Thank you Eric. It’s a sight that’s become too commonplace now, unfortunately.
