Love the Neighbor

only trash can blow 
on the prickly pavement
no mind is 
not precious 

no flesh can blow.
a women with three
teeth and liquored breathe, 
and carrying a sleeping
bag can 
never blow

to everyone, 
here is a soul 

can they not cry?
can they not see day?

they roam the streets, with 
freedom and pain

I pour my heart,
for everyone's jeans
are stained
