Panhandling Puddle

I’m on the side of a path

Pleading, begging

Spare change

Spare change, please

I’ve grown stagnant

Emitting an unpleasant odor

Been still for too long

A bit brackish

Neither this or that

Lethargic Lazy Listless

Flat and dispirited

Motionless and emotionless

I beg of you

Spare me some change
