HOMELESS ON KING STREET poem

by Richard L. Provencher  
12/12/2008 / Poetry


Homeless on King Street

Towers of glass are monuments of
commerce to society
with national name banks and
other products

ten or twelve floors below garbage
piled higher
than an ice cream cone laying
on the sidewalk, Tim Horton cups

leapfrogging over Subway
wraps and cigarette butts that
no one seems to notice.

Stores busy with shoppers, others
home watching kids or snacking in front
of video action movies

bleak voices on the street asking
any leftover passerby,
"Change for a coffee, mister?"

Nothing much in their pockets but lint,
shoe leather worn thin. Now
begins the hustle of another day.
