walks in and
sits down
with Winchester
starts up
a conversation
but
he already had
one going on
the man is
shaking a bit
sits and orders
a meal
first chance he
gets
when the food
gets there
he spits
something out
about being
poor
and poor Winchester
says
he has
twenty-five and he will
pay for the man’s
meal
nice gesture
but I know
this man has a
job
he probably
cashed his check
today maybe not
sad though that
he finds
it necessary to
hump the old
generosity of Winchester
should I stand
up and tell him the truth
about this man
but maybe
he feels it
worth the cost
for the added
company
no one ever
sits with Winchester
he put his
money on the table
and was silent
until the stranger left
no need for
words
until he was
alone again…
