		They are lying there now Wrapped in gray army surplus blankets Snuggled on the cement next to each other. One is sitting up, smoking. I see a bag of food someone has left for them Unopened. Saving it for dinner. Soft-filled trashbags Are their couches. We are walking In their living room. Every day I rush by On my way to warmth and productivity. Each time I pass they're still there Living in a windowless world I think I see their life But I'm not sure For with vision Does not come seeing Or understanding.
