homeless woman lies
on the sidewalk— passersby
aim their phones at her

lugging their backpacks

under the causeway
they sleep wrapped in tarps
even this we grudge

my pets are indoors
outside in the night
shadows of strays

cold rain, cold night
where do birds sleep
where do homeless go

he taps his way
to the crosswalk
drags a battered cart

shelterless people
speak on the radio–
when will my luck end?

disheveled, sleeping
on a curb, grips the bottle

Down and Out in Gotham
How can anyone be homeless?
You’re a citizen of this country
You’re a resident of this state
Dweller of this city, a neighbour
Now competing with strays
To sit on a bit of sidewalk
And watch the busy on parade.
Home for the Homeless
San Francisco’s best
To be an unclaimed corpse.
Every six months or so
A chartered excursion boat
Sails off with orphans of ash
Waifs of bone, blind and dumb,
To where gulls and buoys peal
Welcome welcome welcome!
