Homeless
Too young, much too young to sleep on the street.
Robbed of everything, they are now robbed of speech,
And hold felt-pen messages, neatly written, on cards
Cut from cardboard boxes, silent messages, as if
A new marketing technique has reached the homeless,
So that even begging must be presented such,
So you don’t interfere, or interface, or say that much.
