"out on the streets"

saw you out

on

the street's

today

rain

pouring down

your umbrella

long since its

day

but

i

had places

to be

as

i

hurried on

my way

saw you

down the alley

of that

famous

little diner

as you

busily

dug

though

the trash

appearing

to be

caught up

in your

little

chore

me

much to late

my latte

getting cold

saw you

today

on the

information

tube

you and all

those others

some

said

in the distance

bombs

were falling

but

so little

i could do

i'm

just too

far away

you were out

on the highway

the one

beside

the mall

holding out

your little

sign of

cardboard

i know

not what

it read

for

i had cash

in my pockets

i was

on

my way

to spend

so as you knock

on that

door

to my

glassed in

little world

its

not

that i don't

notice

but

i

can't

just let

you

in
