Down on Shakespeare street,
living hand to mouth
haven't got a penny, bumming
around
Homelessness
is not a walk in the park!
haven't got an umbrella
haven't found a doorway
Underground, below
you find the real artists
so we're told
falling through the gap with Alice
but it's no rabbit hole
sleeping rough, we don't qualify
for the dole
She writes poems, I write poems
she's unpublished, and me too
until we're discovered by
The Big Issue
or the Poetry Review
Homeless Shakespeares,
sweet swans of Avon
but no escaping the hound of heaven;
ask Francis Thompson!

Why does it honor the few who cannot add to our starving cultures? Watch and listen to the words and music of the fallen.
