Fade in.

It’s a cold day’s end

In downtown Montreal.

The sidewalks are

Crowded with office workers

And students –

The employed and

the employment-wishing –.

There are others, too, on the streets;

They linger more than walk,

And so, logically, should be extra-visible.

Yet, in the eyes of the stressed-out,

Society’s bustling winners,

This last group –

Impoverished, and too degraded to wish a salary –

Discarded and loosened,

And loose-change desiring –.

Does not exist at all.

All these street people are, in the eyes of the healthy,

The ranked successful,

Existentially gone,

Fade in.
It’s a cold day’s end
In downtown Montreal.
The sidewalks are
Crowded with office workers
And students –
The employed and
the employment-wishing –.
There are others, too, on the streets;
They linger more than walk,
And so, logically, should be extra-visible.
Yet, in the eyes of the stressed-out,
Society’s bustling winners,
This last group –
Impoverished, and too degraded to wish a salary –
Discarded and loosened,
And loose-change desiring –.
Does not exist at all.
All these street people are, in the eyes of the healthy,
The ranked successful,
Existentially gone,
