I saw a kid
napping in a tent camouflaged in the woods
near the black waters of Lake Matheson.
When I approached, I saw an empty bread bag,
a container of peanut butter.
When I asked if he was O.K., he started up
in panic. "Get back!" he screamed, backing
to the corner of the tent.
His eyes were wide and hungry
like empty saucers.
"I ran away from home!
And left my parents a ransomed note
asking for $100. I need it
for more bread and peanut butter.
Will you help me?" he asked.
"Or you could just go home and eat," I said.
