The owner and the vagrant

 the green building so long
two stories of wroking people
inquisitive secretaries
urgency in their gesure
swaying palms outside

people want authority in cute little doses
Criminals escape places like these by breaking through 
or desperately climbing over in the wee hours
a sense of addrenaline and guilt tore the side 
blood trailed off following the vagrant 

The owner of the building looked out of his glasses
Half expecting the vagrant to come back
hat in hand and apologizing
ready to repair the wall

Emotional stains on the file cabinet
behind his eyes
Yet he had much and ways to forget
the vagrant searched for a medical center
a cheap fix to avoid his past

and way to keep the trembling grin 
floating into tomorrow
problems form trouble
grow wings and horns
and if fed sufficiently seem to acquire a life of their own
