Domingo
sitting in his chair on the walk
day after day
he's seen many days years decades

Teeth like a half eaten ear of corn
or an old halloween pumpkin
but with a smile just as large

Looking looking but seeing?
sitting sitting all day every day

Does not walk 
right hand lame
but the left always warm
limber like a man of twenty

Slow to speak but always kind
never an angry word
tho' alone on a busy street in the barrio

¿Papá, gustas un vaso con agua?
¿y tu amigo, el señor?

Aging but not old
mi amigo
my hero.
