A tribute to those people who keep our streets clean, but also a reference to the struggles to live a clean and sober life, and the problems one faces...

Street Cleaners

© Jaimey Perham  

02/05/2014

 

Endless roads across the grounded globe polluted with piles of human garbage

Store sidewalks filled with a detour of manmade mountains of steel obstacles

Dark dead end alleys populated with sleeping homeless college graduate addicts

Street cleaners in uniform operating sweepers always have a working place to go


Cigarette butts littering walkways outside corporate business walkways

Hectic stock exchange staffers sneaking away leaving ash in secluded parking garages

Highway drillers and cementers breaking for lunch discarding food leftovers

Street cleaners in uniform operating sweepers always have a working place to go

 

Snow stacked high drifting down Main Street on a dark dreary day in winter

Steel plows scoop up slush steering the sleet to the side of the black ice roads

Salt left in their wake melting the frost into dirty water where rubber won’t slide sideways

Street cleaners in uniform operating sweepers always have a working place to go

 

Anxious nervous heavy minds clouded with bouncing clutter and dancing questions

Alcohol and drugs calms the erratic moods that drives the village people insane

Sex in rotation relaxes the mental tension of the heart that stiffens the broken body

Street cleaners in uniform operating sweepers always have a working place to go
