Every morning I see them. Carrying their belongings or pushing them in a grocery cart.


Poem Artwork

In the old park
Beneath a lamp
Out in the cold
Chilled by the damp

A silhouette
Shoulders slumped down
Avoids the day
In this cruel town

Kind alleys dark
Beckon him come
Safety him give
Perhaps some rum

Falling asleep
A cardboard box
Stray dog for warmth
Old woolen socks

One day he left
No sign be found
Most likely went
To some new town

We had one such person who came to our town. He recieved all kinds of help, including, giving him a place to live for free. Several months later he back on the street. They had to evict him because he wasn't taking care of his apartment. A sad case.

I saw three of the kind of people you spoke of as Zoe and I took our morning walk. Two were toting bags of stuff they had found in people's garbage cans. One was riding her bike, stopping at garbage cans also. Yes, they are out there.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
