Downtown Poetry

Winter

Wrapped in their blankets

The homeless rehearse a wake

They shall never get


Spring

A derelict Christ

Half naked and half alive

Napping in the Sun


Summer

The poor and the free

Bathe in Art Nouveau fountains

We talk of manners


Fall

When politicians promise housing

They never mention it’s made from their vynil banners

Standard
