Down and Out

by Maggie Grinnell




A full figured short woman in a black cape stole a bag of chips
from the deli wearing no shoes.
A man who lost his job and wife to drugs now receives welfare
checks that the deli owner holds for him.
A woman spots a lady and her three young children who looked
hungry wandering the streets. She went to buy food and when she returned,
they were gone.
A middle aged man faints everyday at the local hospital just to get a hot
meal.
Homeless people are just us at our lowest point.
