Five Dollar CoffeeA Poem by Mikel K PoetI say to him why don’t you check into a hospital, man, are you schizophrenic I think he says yes but he was just trying to get close enough to my table to bend over and pick up a cigarette butt off of the floor. I say lock him up not cuz he’s evil but because he doesn’t stand a chance is this freedom that you’re giving him letting him wander the sidewalks of The USA from trashcan to trashcan? Lock him up. Give him a bath and some clean clothes. Feed him. Find out what his mental illness is. Give him his meds. Teach him something that could make him useful to not only himself, but to all of us. How much longer can you sit back and watch a man eat from a trashcan while you sip on your five dollar coffee? Mikel K February 13, 2003 Photo of Mikel K by Just Joan. © 2013 Mikel K Poet |
