my own state

Out of the fold
continued to multiply
in city centers

looks of anxiety
greeted them
as they answered
with outstretched hands
give me
nourish me

there was nothing
to follow order
rejection brought
to street corners
to do one thing
with pet dogs
free to roam
detached from structures
with words give me
out of the fold,
some well clothed
dressed right
to ask
others impoverished
others on the way

to meet overcoats
over pressed pant legs
double breasted jackets
around healed shoes
as gold coin
drop
urbanized delight
and a tattooed beggar
stops to scratch
for a light
on the way to
a diner today...
he tries to make it
some say he tried
not to make anything..

Yet... some have entertained angels without even knowing. Interesting piece.

SIGHING here, too many corners
well done, Martin
the portrait, the juxtaposition
of the 'pressed' alongside the depressed

Nice to see you....interesting....reread it a couple of times.  I see them as I look out of the bus window and wonder who they are.
