THE MAN

THE MAN

The man is funny.
He says things that will make you laugh.
The man is sweaty.
He appears to have been in the heat for some time.
The man is scary.
He makes young ladies with Bibles walk away.
The man is loud.
He does not seem to remember traditional social norms.
The man is happy.
He remembers the woman who appreciated his presence.
The man is sad.
He believes that he will soon die.
The man is drunk.
He lives on beer, which he pays for by asking for money on street corners.
The man is friendly.
He quickly smiles at the people he meets.
The man is sleepy.
He throws himself onto a couch and instantly falls asleep.
The man is addicted.
He begins to sober up and asks me for a dollar.
The man is willing.
He throws his can to the curb to gain entry to the room.
The man is able.
He helps us arrange groceries to give to the community.
The man is gone.
He can’t stay in the room with the friends and the food…
It is time for more beer.
