On the sidewalk, a man sells his art
on bits of paper
and found rocks.
As I pass, he's playing his spoons
on his knee.
Impressed, I smile at him.
His answering smile
lights up his face
a toothless grin
in this grey weatherbeaten face.
Despite the harshness
of life
of the elements
he is happy
does not ask for my money
and takes my smile
as a small offering
for the pleasure his art has given me.
