He found meaning
In places
Where others dare not look

A blank frame
On a theater
With a sign saying “Coming Soon”

Mannequins
In a window
Wearing hundred dollar bills

A milk crate
On a sidewalk
By an empty plastic cup

A fortune cookie
Cracked open
Without anything inside

And his face
On his license
Looking like someone he’d avoid
