The limo glides by the homeless
man, windows opaque.
Inside, the rider
watches screens.
If prompted--after
eggs and coffee
settle--he'll speak
of freedom. He has
purchased much of it.
Outside, the freedom
to find the very best garbage,
to start a process by selling some.
Quite a stretch
to place him in the limo,
but not the acquisition
of a few tricks of hygiene.
