Homeless

Blindness of people walking by Ignored and invisible, Revulsion on their faces. Rythm of murmurs and chatters filled the streets, Low heartbeat music from stores, Blends with the voices like an uneven melody. Stench surrounds me, Mixed in a filthy strong odor, Feeling of sick to my stomach crept up behind me. Hard flat cardboard, Thin layer of beat down fabric, Leans against me, Air thickens into a cold breeze.
