Who Can Refuse

a beggar on the street
is denied so many times
he forgets the taste of food
but remembers
that it was perfect
just like his rat-a-tat-tattered
uniform of mediocrity

they said put it on
but who can refuse

Author notes

This is first in a series of five stream of consciousness poems that I wrote over the course of less than 12 hours.
