Happy Thanksgiving 🍁 🦃 #Tanka
Usual suspects Line the table and gather Around traditions Passed down for generations Always served and made with love
Over 500k
Along the walls of on-ramps and exits I tend to feel a little less self-depressive Realizing I’m free from the oppression That’s effecting homeless intersections Eyes wide every time like it’s a surprise To see living conditions of the deprived Then I can’t help but ask myself why The sheer numbers continue to rise HowContinue reading “Over 500k”
