tents, implications by J.S. Marcuse

tents, implications
by J.S. Marcuse

the street takes me under a freeway
i see
the sidewalk is
no longer
a sidewalk.

it has been taken over
by tents.

i see
some are
commercial tents
some are
made of tarps
some are
mere cardboard.

is it
a replication
of
our society?

are the commercial tents
the top rung
the yellow REI tents
the mansions?
and what about
those
made of
cardboard?
