homeless

I spread my sleeping bag in the doorway of that empty building on Bonanza and D
a young woman I'd seen in the food line
squeezed into the corner next to me

she had no jacket
no blanket
she was cold

I told her to get into my sleeping bag and warm herself
while I went to look for a cup of coffee

next night as I spread my sleeping bag
she was back

here I am
homeless

with a roommate
