see those outside, left by the tide
faded flowers
silent grey ghosts, haunting lost posts
thrift shops and bus stops in rain

stale bread for swans, cast on the pond
broken bandstand
out of the park, in before dark
flee the uncouth, brute noise and youth
evening brings tea and tv

hidden in homes, all but alone
village elders
patience to bear, so much to share
but no one asks, or seems to care
world turns in haste, hides its face
in shame
