The Story
I saw an old man whose white beard framed his face
And as he wheeled a suitcase of his possessions behind him, paused for a moment to hawk hand-weaved bracelets of assorted colours to the stream of passersby
And as I watched,
I wondered about the 70 year journey that had brought him here
And how many he hoped to sell
And whether the sum of his life was what he held in his hand
