Here are people living
in wet boxes
and I don't cry
I am not campaigning
for an allocation in the budget
I feel alone
just like the others
in their houses and clean clothes
who already have so much to do
and who walk by embarrassed
with a friendly greeting
that cuts off a conversation
before it can begin
and who forget this quickly
before it becomes a problem
Sometimes we give money
What else can you do
but ponder your sin-
ful needs and spend
what you have got after that
