Park Benching

I’ve sat on the park benches in Paris

Hungry.

I’ve sat on the park benches in New York

Hungry.

And I’ve said:

I want a job.

I want work.

And I’ve been told:

There are no jobs.

There is no work.

So I’ve sat on the park benches

Hungry.

Mid-winter,

Hungry days,

No jobs,

No work.
