Substance and sum
In worn clothes from his former life
he looked like a nouveau street bum.
The poster looked like his ex-wife.
In worn clothes from his former life
he recalled their love and their strife--
then gulped three swigs of cheap rum.
In worn clothes from his former life
he looked like a nouveau street bum.
