street drinkers ? do you look down at them ?
 

think ? highgate road bench ? 05.03.17




i don't no how to address

my attentions are to be kind

2 ladys no more no less

opposite the fire station you will find.

rain or shine

cold even boiling

sitting on the bench has no decline

the whether has no spoiling.

always very friendly

a gentle greeting

asking for spare change tenderly

this addiction is fueled by no cheating.

to the off license suppler

more tins to dampen the psychosis

the livers must be dyer

in the post is cirrhosis.

do a whole shift

i grind to make my bread

going home just empty tins to lift

a repeat tomoz is no dread.

i see what others blank

to the village i am going to double date

into the gate house as i am thirsty hank

thinking how others feel is what i want you to contemplate.

https://www.instantstreetview.com/@5....7h,-16.08p,1z this is the bench i am talking about but i am sorry to say the ladys are not in the usual spot and have just popped to the off-licence to restock and left the empty tins i often see every night on the way home. for once in my life i am not going to get my poem to who it is about for the fear it will make them want to drink even more ! instead i will just continue what i normally do and smile and say good morning ladys as i pass and as the nights get longer and less cold i will even say good night on the way home as they stay out longer in the summer. the point of my poem is to ask - do you ever think how others feel ?

I don't look down on anyone.

What Kizzy said... and it's none of my business.

...from the gutter..i'm more often looking up
