“Homeless” by Debbie Andrews

I watched the homeless one
Build a nest
From my second story window seat
Behind a piano, I played music
No one heard
He gathered what he'd found
Set up cardboard walls
Eyes diverted
People walked by
I played music no one heard
So I played for him
I made up a song
It had that sound
Like we both knew
No one was going to save us
He crawled inside his cardboard walls
I played music no one heard
