The Silent Man


The street corner looked like a zoo
Overflowing with homeless, and the needy
A man holding out a can to the woman for money
The woman then starts frantically digging through her purse
As the man waits for what seems like a lifetime
The woman finally comes up with a handful of coins
He accepts the offering silently
Then walks off into the distance waving to the woman
