For Don Scheaffer
#1

I'm not sure if you have seen this before but I thought I'd dig it up to show you. It's a couple years old. The verse was actually a reply to posting this very image on another photo forum. I asked permission to use it and then made it a part of the image. It happens to be one of my very most favourite images. I call it...
a time and place

Gimme
by Don Schaeffer (2005)

Why am I an egocentric child
posturing alone among
those who have really
felt the kind hand of honor?

Why am I always junior
asking for favors from those
with charity, even though
it is already late afternoon?

Why am I extending
my unwashed hand on the sidewalk
surrounded by people
whose time is precious,
always new?

I remember that original post (and that reply). The only thing I can't seem to remember is Chris... Thanks for pulling this one out again.

Also - very interesting poem from Don - I rarely comment on poems because I don't feel I understand the medium well enough to have anything to say about them. I think Gimme is pretty good though.

You are welcome Don. I was hoping you'd like it. My pleasure Toad. Also, good poem Don. A panhandler I take it?

No it's me panhandling in photography forums for scraps of reward or old cigarette butts.
