I was a Hobo – v2

Newspaper ink smeared on my face

over and over, to get the right color

five o’clock shadow

a ripped gray sweatshirt

hair up and sprayed, for just

the right wrong look

Torn jeans, a red bandana

holding my possession for the night

my costume, or the general idea,

for many a year, a hobo

prowling the neighborhood,

on our All Hallow’s Eve
