..are all immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers
looking in on that which keeps us out
and isn't that what this life's all about?
abandonment and
discontent?

men who play accordions accompanying the sad songs
that we all know all too well.

Sunday and the City wakes
Clarence takes the dogsies for a walk
which breaks the monotony
of
living in the city

'someone talk to me',
he said silently because
there's no point wasting breath when
no one's there,

oh bring me death?
but what would dogsies do
when you shuffle off?

if you don't know
then why?

Mr Steven Curtis Lance I have borrowed your 'Dogsies' for a while. (check out Steven's Facebook page.
