Streets Are Made For Walking
By Phil Goldvarg
sleep,
empty lots fill with corporate greed,
warm kitchens disappear
in high rent floods,
bedrooms are replaced by bushes,
cardboard caves,
abandon garages,
beware of the land hunters,
home hunters,
bulldozers at the ready,
cheered on by city councils,
state committees
in research mode for the homeless,
there is this false sense of beauty,
where stone and marble
are clothed before skin and bone,
dark night streets
have no door,
shadows have easy entry,
mothers shiver over young children,
body heat dwindling
into an ice wind,
the streets are made for walking,
not living.
