Homelessness

Feet planted on city sidewalks, body folds with in, another homeless person in need of a friend. They're cropping up in alley ways, cluttering urban streets, belongings now in shopping carts, at night on grates to sleep. Yet another soup kitchen, our shameless omission. Passersby walk fast with eyes that avert, desensitized to reality, superior in their self-worth. Some offer up spare change like their dogs begging treats and head back to their insulated homes, their duty it completes. Our nomad loners, societal leeches, ever destined to roam, humanity breaches expelling it's own.
