T’sway back and fourth
drop toward DC street below
Float endlessly along concrete stairs
As hobgoblins n’ witches titter crosswalks
Whist beneath lamppost he stands in shadows

Without patience
All ego n’ bitterness scold
T’kill the slightest warmth
Bend most delicate devotion

Tiny leaf hitches another gust
T’disappear into the gloom
O’ exorcist t’cross himself
Stand more erect than his age permits
Removes his hat
