The Streets
The Street's
when you live on the streets
you find that you can perform some incredible feats
like not eating for weeks
when your blisters all meet
to become the soles of your feet
and your pain stops to complain
walking around for hours from alley to Park
abandoned house or vacant lot
avoiding the uniform stops loitering, trespassing tickets,
court dates
new cell mates
making license plates
lost in the system, a number not a name
do your time come out the same
hit the streets all-too-familiar
life just repeats, until it deletes
