\"A<\/h2>\n

First Ave<\/h2>\n

by\u00a0Jason Giltner<\/p>\n

Have you seen the guy that stands out on First Ave?<\/p>\n

The one that wears the pink winter hat
\nand the acid-wash overalls?<\/p>\n

He recites Shel Silverstein poems to passersby
\nand give free hugs
\nto those willing to accept one.<\/p>\n

He sings Joni Mitchell songs
\nand does interpretive dance
\nto the rhythms of street performers.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen him either
\nbut everyone talks about him.<\/p>\n
