i think he might've been a nurse

but maybe he was an artist? he carried

charcoals

and he drew a baby in a bed of lillies

or were they daffodils? i don't know flowers.

then he drew a man with

scruff on his chin, 

and fire in his smile.

he drank his coke and jack, or maybe coke, or maybe jack

and he watched people while they talked.

he had a lamb plush doll in his bag

which he jammed his papers into and

slung on his back.

he kind of stood like he was just standing

to stand

his name was giomanach westbrook

and he left just as quiet as he came.
