Legs crossed, back straight, dignified,

On its shipping carton,

He sits on his throne.

Nearby, carefree,

High school girls are joking

At table at a terrace, not far away, a woman is smoking.

Tinkling of a carelessly discarded piece.

Groping, the old man picks

And into his box, puts it.

Beside him, a sign,

"I am blind, please help".

Sometimes a painful tension on his face,

Eyelids beating on bruised eyes.

Suddenly, as if on the alert, he turns his head.

Stylish, a woman passes

Contemplates the scene

Retraces her steps,

Grabs the grimoire,

Determined, throws a few words.

The Elderly bends downwards

Feels the shoes

To identify.

When finished writing,

The Beauty, carefully, coarse paper

Replaces.

Last look, last smile,

She walks away.

Suddenly the world has changed,

A girl kneels down,

Presents a coin.

And another

And again another.

Genuflexions ...

Comes back  the unknown Lady

In front of him, she  stops.

Intrigued, he leans,

Caresses the shoes,

Remembers.

“-What have you done?

- I wrote the same thing but with different words. "

With empathy she touches his shoulder,

Smiles

And walks away.

On the sign, it says:

"It's a beautiful day

And I can't see it ... "
