hobo night...

Black felt hat wide brim dent
Out the boxcar door
Speeding
No beans no rice
Branches of birds & stars whistle by
Hobo night
No beans no rice
He sleeps his handkerchief wrapped with treasure
He sleeps his ring & Rolex too
No beans no rice
Kindling & brick
Water boiling
Dogs wander tracks & fires
No beans no rice
Hobo night
Load up the train
Free air mussed hair
To where there's trees
Seashells
&
Salt
&
Breath
&
Beans & rice
- -
& where
Dogs don't wander anymore

A book of poetry in his vest
