immaculately attired but today
his coat is dirty and shoes worn out
rather like his poor old soul.
He used to be
wealthy but lost it all
and ambles to the coffee shop
with mind glued to the past.
He used to be
a man with boundless energy
yet he has learned humility
no longer with contempt on show
but now instead of looking to the skies
he wanders around with pavement eyes.
