Look Away
the least of us
look down
and are frozen in time
nothing ahead is possible
everything behind is gone
there is not a box to live in a blanket to warm
a cup of tea to calm
the least of us
live in suburbia
desperate and afraid to live out loud
rote repeat rote repeat
downcast eyes and vacant stares
do not love us
do not heal us
do not make us neighbors
or even friends
look away
look away
