Perma-marker posts for mattresses, pointed
Posts pushed into the ground, waving yard
Signs, swaying in the wind, election season,
“Forty Dollars Down!!” Her boss to vote...
Terrified she’ll lose the job she recently won if
She doesn’t make sales, a legal, lawful
Immigrant, single parent of one, awful -
The landlord would wrest away her rental...

Less than one mile from here, a homeless man,
A veteran, ran a war in Iran, a man
Who stays in the woods; with dirty, infested
Bedding he rests his head, though this night,
Before One, a candle resting in red glass,
He prays to the Lamb with ‘no place to lay His head.’
