an awful sight like this
brings you down to earth
she looks at this poor nebbish
warming his bruised hands
by the fire lit in a battered oil drum
under two dog bridge
dressed in a torn thin anorak
groaning and wheezing in the cold frosty air
and it no longer puzzles her
how this could happen to people
not much heart or kindness in this cruel world
heart groan air puzzle bruise fire anorak nebbish two awful bring look
"not much heart or kindness in this cruel world"
