I Must

 

 

I\'m sitting on a park bench 

it\'s 06:55 am, it\'s friday 

the temperature is 2c

razor blade winds

cutting into my head 

even though i’m wearing a thermal wooly hat

 

are you wondering

why I\'m sitting here?

research, I wanted to research

what it might feel like for a homeless person 

who actually lives on a bench 

 

to be honest I couldn\'t sit here

for more than five minutes 

reflecting on the fact

this is home to someone

 

how can any human

possibly, physically live in this way? 

I sat for five minutes

impossible to stay any longer

I came to the conclusion  

it is the very miracle and power

of the word \"must\"

 

today…

 

 “I MUST survive”.
