Your nights. 
 When you put you down in an alley or cardboard or viaduct, 
 your lovers are rats, finding your secret places."

This quote is talking about what homeless people have to be to stay safe and alive. In this picture this woman is in an alley with food from the garbage and no shoes living a life with nothing but a single pair of clothes and a thin blanket.]]> 2017-03-24 20:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162518524 anallyssa_arnett29 https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519189 2017-03-24 20:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519189 Part Two Of Poem anallyssa_arnett29 https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519218 "When you rise in another morning,
you hit the street, your incessant enemy.
See? Here you are, in the so-busy world.
You walk. You walk.
You pass The People.
No. The People pass you.
Here's a Rich Girl marching briskly to her charms." 

This quote tells how rich people just pass homeless people with out a care in the world of what they are doing. In this picture this rich lady isn't even looking at that homeless person because she doesn't care enough.]]> 2017-03-24 20:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519218 anallyssa_arnett29 https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519960 2017-03-24 20:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519960 Part Three of Poem anallyssa_arnett29 https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519991 "Black old woman, homeless, indistinct—
Your last and least adventure is Review.
Folks used to celebrate your birthday!
Folks used to say "She's such a pretty little thing!"

This quote is saying how much this lady used to get complimented but now that she is homeless she doesn't anymore. In this picture there is a lady that looks cold and beat up and dirty and no one is doing anything about it.]]> 2017-03-24 20:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/anallyssa_arnett29/f1j4i9xsmewp/wish/162519991
