Poised

Unbelievably, or so he thought, here it was again, the end of his rope.
Very little sustenance.
Some water.
Truck falling apart.
Body falling apart.
Apartment gone condo. Begone!
No work.
No income. No outgo.
Here he was ...again.

He took stock, and counted. Pooled the last of it.
Not much.
What was important?
A need to communicate.
A letter of hope.
An onion.
He knew what was important...

All said and done, there he stood.
Alone.
Nothing.
Just hope. And faith. An onion for
a better day.
A better day on
the rise.

He knew
what was
important.
Keep your wits.
Enjoy
the
ride.
