to give a bum a cigarette

slouched upon the brick
upon the gyro stores' rear
tobacco floats off his fingers
to mask away his fear
as a crowd begins to gather
a precarious crowd indeed
of foregin individuals
all of whom in need
his mouth's a little shakey
as he does not speak their tongue
he quivers for an answer
and glances not to anyone
i gave a bum a cigarette
half-smoked but free of pay
i gave a bum a cigarette
and ran the fuck away

"half-smoked but free of pay" is an awesome line.

Weekend plans? Hit me up so I can convince you to make more decisions you regret.
