Homie: How Close?
Homeless. How close?
No job; got third degree.
Useless. Pound pavement.
Pants ripped, sweatshirts tattered.
Sneakers holes, laces broken.
Paper bag ripped.
Plastic bag a pillow.
Sleep on sidewalk,
Front of dollar store.
No cents left.
Kicked in shins,
Phone can’t call, no charge.
No bars. No nothing.
If it hadn't been for my car that's exactly where I would have been for two years. Thank you for bringing it to the front of how homeless are treated.
Closely felt, well writ. Thank you
