                    man in a rag clothes    Black, brown and unwashed

                    Dirt underneath his fingernails    Scorching sun guides him

                    Through a narrow street of    Cars with cracked and faded paint

        

                    And individuals gazing from their  Porches with glazed eyes taking

                    Deep breath with mouth wide open    The stench of dried,

                    yellow urine    On the side of the abandoned store

                                    Discarded                            cardboards

                            Taking shelter amongst        rats and cockroaches

                                and dirty rubbish                  And his push cart

                                    with red                                    handle
