Poem Three

And To Think..

If

The
Home that we dwell in was foreclosed
On
Unfortunately we'd live outside
Greeting pedestrians and
Harassing
Them for

Spare change.
However, we'd sometimes be given
Enough to buy ciabatta melts

With Swiss cheese.
And maybe a
Soda

To quench our thirsts,
Having had not a drink all day, not
Even a sip of water.

Or eaten even a few
Niblets dropped by passers by.
Every day would be like this.


get it? lol idk. feedback?
hint: read vertically; there's a reason this poem is left-aligned.

And to think If Though She Was The One.
I neverrr caught that until now. I know Im like a whole forever and a day late but, its better late than never (right?). Besides, I need to get a sip of that ol' shit I used to love. lol; Never commented, so now's my chance.
Lovee this by the way. Confusing at first but...I get it now. After a few reads anyway. :)
