A FIGURE

He knows the tall hat has conspired

With the coat to imagine him, starting

With burning eyes and indistinct face 

Then working their way down. Last of all

Fingers flexed in torn gloves and shoes

Thought of feet a bit too large for them;

He's  not grateful; couldn't they think

Of a fat wallet in his pocket or at least

Some coins and keys and a rabbit's foot?
