Two Poems
BAGGAGE
From the open freight,
with the other boozed stowaways,
he glares at the blurred landscape.
His pocket doesn't clink with change anymore,
but carries his only possession...
a pair of rolling dice.
FORGOTTEN
Sitting on the concrete sidewalk
with his un-amputated arm stretched,
toward a few good pennies.
People just pass unrecognizing
the long-ago purple heart he wears.
