Wet on the concrete

It is so cold
out on the concrete today and it is raining a torrential storm
that won't stop forcing the homeless and down trotted to the water front
where they can shiver on cold and wet pathways that the rich and well to do
run on and pass by
them with their snooty noses
barely can see down their noses
they are so large
just up into the city center
all the tall banks and big buildings
where the affluent pour out of
natural grocery stores and artisan coffee shops
and the cold and wet sit on the concrete
watching and holding resentment
in their loins
It is the only thing that keeps us warm as we see these people gripe and moan about heavy grocery bags and wet socks
and at night
when they get to go to their warm homes
we the people
get to be cold and wet on the concrete
