slight twitch to the grin
and slouch into skateboard
a pallor that matched his thin
body, as loose as a cord,
wandering along I halt
at his polite request to chat
“can I ask you ” faltering
“weird thing” touched hat
nodding to encourage more words
I am fascinated by youth in a corpse
“can you help” tone discord
score diazepam” more discourse
“I am an epileptic and have
lost my meds” . I shake my head
and point into the space above
where green cross lights his threads
crack of the quip
