Care

See him,
See him stumble along
All rags and bags and beer bottles

See him stoop
And grasp
A morsel found
Chocolate bar
From gritty ground

See him lift and furtively place
Morsel found into bearded face
And chew

See him chew and stare
At you; as you draw near
And fetid breath drifts on air
It dawns, not chocolate
But doggy doo…

finally, someone who makes my take on "foul" seem almost nice. Well done.

Marvelous twist and great use of the theme this week.
