Corner Man

Balding maturity
attached to camel coated
over-shod young trees

staples screen signals
sending scattering
superimposed spatulas

listeners, so to speak,
spoken to then spaked
like lakes of well-liked stamps

tramping from tree tips 
to spare change 
in a tipple jar

long empty of 
potent asobriety
impropriety be damned
it's money he demands.
