It is raining and it is Christmas in L.A
the home of paramount pictures and the home of skid row
Each drop multiples heavy
like the narratives given
to justify why
some deserve to be out on the streets
on day like this when the water pours and seeps into their tents bridges cannot hide or cover our collective apathy (shame) as we cross
into the next decade “i am not to blame
if he/ she / they don’t have a home
what a shame.”
