He had a drinking
problem
'cause he was born
without the elbows
couldn't be much
of a christian
'cause he had no knees
to bend & kneel with
he wore a hat
because he kept
forgetting to buy
a comb
those titanium crutches
held him up fairly straight
just in case he thought
of moving
and...
imagining the taste of a cold beer while losing his balance on the frosty sidewalk trying to run after his hat which had been blown off by the cold wind
he fell face first
landing on a soft
cushion of his own
long curls.
