this is great, but i saw or rather hoped it was a comment on the commenter rather than the homeless guy attracting the frown, ...but then i do tend to run on the left

oh wow. I always think the same thing to those guys who always ask for money and hold up a "homeless" sign. To me, I think that is almost the most lazy scam anyone can pull. Why do they feel the need to trick innocent people into thinking that they are doing good by giving some "homeless" guy money to help him out a little in life. I once saw one of those homeless guys, and he was wearing a fur coat. That same guy was seen in 7-11 buying coffee before his work on the streets. I mean, why do these people need to get on my nerves so much? Anyway, good poem! Thank you for entering my contest, and good luck!

It seems almost sarcastic in its clipped and lightly perplexed way.
Maybe I'm looking far too into this, but it seems to be more than a statement about his appearance. You know that he is a highway man, but he does not seem to inspire 'homelessness.' Perhaps he is a happy man, or he seems to have a direction and purpose.
Another thought-inspiring work. This is exactly what I needed today. Thank you.
