THE IGNORANCE
I've missed the 2.00 a.m.
traffic on Main Street
slept through fights
on the corner of Broadway
picked no needles or condoms
from dawn alleys
I know of them from the media
been angered over homelessness
grieved at AIDS and HIV
but my knowledge is second-hand smoke
drifting past like the smell of Monday morning
traffic on Main Street
slept through fights
on the corner of Broadway
picked no needles or condoms
from dawn alleys
been angered over homelessness
grieved at AIDS and HIV
but my knowledge is second-hand smoke
drifting past like the smell of Monday morning
