The Odd Homeless Gent

Rain or shine for about a year and a half give or take, he has slogged with the same gimp. He goes against elemental facts in a disconcerting way that makes those passing him wonder briefly what his story might be. The odd homeless gent is strangely formal in the way he daintily roots poking at the trash with a stick. His face like that of an old sea captain, say, or of a farm hand of some type.
