I came across this short poem on the internet and liked it-- there's a sense of stillness in the middle of its questions and observations.
What do we know about the homeless people
Sleeping in the cracks that we avoid?
Some seem drunk, some lost, some feeble.
What do we know about the homeless people?
One runs, one walks, one seems peaceful.
We turn our backs we’re so annoyed.
What do we know about the homeless people
Sleeping in the cracks that we avoid?
