the daily parade by the homeless shelter chow line APD central booking exit every day a new sight to see men fighting children crying women dying one needle, one vein, one hit at a time nevermind the salty tears of a dying mind long ago lost but never known enough to be forgotten nevermind the hunger pangs of the crying child too young to know this is only the beginning of the pain to come the pin ***** of the needle as it breaks the skin
