[Inspired by a facebook post by my friend Justice, who put out a call for size 8 sneakers needed by a woman in Central Square, Lynn MA, standing there in soggy slippers, apparently homeless.]
Did you see my sister
under the bridge in Central Square
on the edge…in the rain
soggy slippers and cardboard sign
going nowhere…
surrounded by don’t want to know
and don’t want to care
even though….
we’re all under a bridge
somewhere
Dave Somerset aka “Call Dave” writes and performs poetry, stories and music at local open mics and features. He likes Bansky’s idea that “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” and that truth and good writing converge. Dave’s work has been published in the Merrimac Mic Anthology, and online sights. Dave also has published a Chap Book: Among Poets Tonight.
Thank you for the empathic thought provoking words!
