The Street Poem by Not Long Left

The Street



A junkie shivers under the sun, the poet
scans the streets searching for that one word.
The senile midnight street walker rests her
head for the day. The old war veteran spits on
his medals, rubbing the memories until they shine.


We all look upwards when a plane passes.
