On The Streets of Savannah — Image by kenne
down and out in Savannah
people passing by Sorry Charlie’s
probably don’t know the name
of the man sleeping on the bench
where customers will wait for dinner
at Savannah’s premier oyster bar.
hard times on Savannah streets
an armrest for a pillow
knowing little about the man
with a bandage hand, broken angle
a bottle of water on the ground
near a cap and sunglasses
there is some tragic irony
of a homeless man sleeping
on the street outside
Sorry Charlie’s Oster Bar
in the historic Gibbins Building
in the Ellis Square neighborhood
