Christmas Eve at the pawn shop

He walks in, pushing a vacuum cleaner or some other device, 
Candy cane pajama pants and a ski jacket at 3pm on Christmas Eve 
I gaze from my car window, wondering 
And pitying

My judgements reek of privilege and accusation 
The distance between us is two car lanes 
The link between us is 
Deep as grace is wide
Storylines without divide.
