Retreat For the Homeless

to cross...use other side of the street


the wall sign said...no...
littering...loitering...or...
soliciting...and...

customers only...
for admittance or exit...
at the sunset grill...

hells kitchen café...
with jazz cannibal music...
savor the flavors...

and crazy jimmy...
with all limbs multitasking...
alone...at the bar...

at sundown it starts...
the doors close till the next dawn...
hells kitchen gets hot...

party's now begun...
friendship-center gastro club...
the cops park outside...

no entry...exit...
by order...a top cop...charm...
clean streets until dawn...

when everyone leaves...
with coffee cups for begging...
change...for next nights treat...
