A Homeless Man in Baltimore
I used to have a home, a wife, some kids,
A job, even the occasional friend.
Then I was downsized—
A fancy word for canned…now I live from cans—
To eat, to sleep, and tonight to stay warm.
It’s so cold in this city this winter.
God, I’m numbed out of my mind.
All I want to do is stay alive.
ã28 December 1996, Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw.
