Note to Charles B

You make me look at the bums holding signs by the freeway
wondering if they are really seeing things
or if that is just me clinging to a little bit of hope?
You helped make it okay for the poor to speak out.
You who said fuck your rules
and your conformity,
it is just me and my cross eyed cat
and he knows something
that all of you are searching for.

We keep it going
but you started it.
