Flash Friday 55: Until They Have Faces

He isn't invisible
holding the sign, but
he probably wants
anonymity
since he won't meet my eyes

Easier, to hide in the stereotype
Pan-handling bum, flying the
God Bless Anything Helps”
than speak truth
his story

I wave him over, hand him my ashtray
ten bucks in change,
now a grin,
and I see.

Yes, I've been gone a while...and you'll hear the story someday.  Today is not that day.
