My Dream

I walk in the time
of the Shadow of Darkness,
feeling the times of homelessness,
feeling the times of needing
something to eat, a place to sleep;
Living the advocate’s life on
the streets of Washington, D.C.
Tell me:
Where do I go?
When is it time to eat?
Where do I sleep?
I just want to be off the streets
—the streets—
of the nation’s capital of D.C.
Helping the homeless,
my job on the streets.
