Sidewalks Count as Homes

by Cooper   Apr 6, 2009


Live on concrete
of people passing by ...

veins stretching, pulsating
to the other side of the street,
littered of garbage and piss
granting antonyms of a wish.

Drop some change
quarters, nickels, dimes,
for more pleasant times.

Drop some death
needles, knives, ammunition,
for a less violent submission.

Your rich society can't leave it alone,
but this sidewalk is my home.

    Desperate in it's hopeful hopelessness, a tragic dance, love it, that's all.
