the beggars?


The car park on public roads
Near the bank and shop lots
In the day of normal businesses
Cars driving in and out as usual

The car beggars will come
A clean dressed woman
And a dirty young man
They will come asking for money

The woman lives elsewhere
She comes with her plastic bag and drinking bottle
She knows she has to hang around until in the evening
Then she will go walk back home

The man is different
Maybe he has no home to go
One look he sleeps on the public area
The dirt on his clothing and legs

He is physically fit
Only the physical appearance of a vagabond
Maybe that's the way for undercover work
Blend into the low beggar's role

It always reminded me
An army captain played drunk on the hill
Patched clothing and unkempt appearance
He came to collect information

When he had done his homework
He came out with his army
The hilly billies watched
Wasn't he the guy on the drunk?”

So it reminds me
A different look at the beggars
We will never know about detective work
The spies in beggar's clothing
