the street is his office
this is where he works
morning to evening
his work he never shirks
no weekday off no perks
running behind cars
at the traffic signal of life
he gets a few coins
he gets a few smirks
the street is his school
within this framework
no homework no play
no feasts no fireworks
poetically connected
to your starched soul
through my network
a flesh and bones
living waxwork
every system needs
a thought to prop it up
as a bulwark

streets of silence
stark and dark
poverty is sale-able
no price tag no trademark
on the soul of humanity
merely a pock mark
