Nickles and Dimes

"i...see..." (said the blind man) "sew" (he took out his thimble...needles and saw) "a coat" (threads of truth...a covering of friends) "rents" (...other washed rags to keep warm by) "wear" (...as shelter...like..this...usual old crap) "to beg" (for change outside the subway where...the shop once was)
