Lay

Two lie in the doorways

  of the corner store

Only one donut, one gift

  it is not enough

Two bags and blankets

  camped on the verge

Of the beauty in the park

  alone with only the

Concrete as a pillow

  and the neighbors pass by

Pass round on the other side

  accusing, pointing, saying

Work, provide for yourself

  get your act together

We did not get this picture 

  from the Samaritan

As we pass by closed doors

  empty homes for sale

Abandon buildings to be torn down

  and all around the streets

Are littered with people

  sleeping, keeping all they have

On the move, just looking 

  for one, one Good Samaritan
