FOR THE GUY TO WHOM I GAVE THE FIVE DOLLAR BILL

You may have spent it

on a joint

or maybe

on a fifth of Thunderbird

which is irrelevant

because I know

the compulsion

the want

the overwhelming need

and no I did not

believe your sign

(some malarkey

about needing food)

but I gave it to you anyway

as I once was you.
