Sidney Beck Poet Free verse

Christmas

CHRISTMAS


Bells,   presents,  snow and holly mean nothing 
When there’s a man leaning on the doorway of a restaurant
While customers pass him to eat inside,
Watching him thru the glass  on Christmas eve, 
Not even thinking how glad they are that it’s not them.
