The heart

2781

In the heart of the city 

I see beautiful people..

 

The clock towers broken, 

Tall buildings eclipse the steeple. 

 

Not a hair that shouldn't be there 

Perfectly attired,

Clean and white.

 

It had to be admired. 

 

Not a blemish or imperfection to see.

 

Amazing, for a river rat, like me.

 

I seen the beggar, 

Paper cup in his hand...

 

Looking less glamorous, 

Kneeling, 

Head bowed, 

Least able to stand.

 

I wondered about the whitewashed tombs..

 

And thought that eventually he might get a room.
