Poem -
HUNGER
An inner emptiness is apparentĀ
on the face of a waif vendingĀ
NEWS on the pavement.Ā
The stack at his feetĀ
is in a languageĀ
which will remain
alien to his comprehension.Ā
Still to earn to liveĀ
he has to sell thisĀ
mute writing on newsprint.Ā
His desolation is deadlierĀ
than an organic breakdown.Ā
The messageĀ
waxes eloquent in his eyes.
His hunger is forĀ
Speech and not for food.Ā
