Portraits of the CIty

Head down.
Feet forward.
Hands Up.
On Michigan Ave.
Where the rich people shop.
Hat in the air.
Catchin quarters.

Head down.
Feet Forward.
Hands Up.
Squattin like a boy.
Curled in a ball
To escape the blows.
Of his father.


Head down.
Feet Forward.
Hands Up.
Watchin shoes.
The more beat up
The more they leave.

Head down.
Feet Forward.
Hands up.
Makin a few bucks.
For the long...cold
winter.
