15,719. I WISH TO BE YOUR BEGGAR

I WISH TO BE YOUR BEGGAR

Outside of your front door, the ivy

is growing; and down from the steps

there is a nice moss. I like things

like that. A few spiders, a twirler,

and a web in the misty light. I wish

to be your beggar here, all right?

-

Sentimental favorites like me always

end up losing  -  too many old bets and

they all fall flat. The cards tumble and

the disappointed people leave. There's

a line, in fact, out the door. I wish to

by your beggar, evermore?
