the wheelchair

man
sitting in his
black vinyl and chrome
wheelchair

sleeping head
bent so far back
mouth wide open
drooling
looks dead

his smell carries
across the street

clear tube
yellow with piss
snaking out
from under
his brown button shirt
and down into
the orange plastic
trick-or-treat
halloween pumpkin
on the sidewalk
with his piss bag in it

next to the pumpkin
there's a coin-starved
coffee can
glazed with rust
