A man sits1
on the side of the road.2
His eyes move3
with the flow of cars that pass.4
His body shakes5
as cold soaks his tattered clothing.6
His fingers tremble7
as he grips a sign that barely reads "Work 4 Food".8
His eyes shut9
as he dreams of a better life.10
A man stands11
on the side of the road.12
His lips quiver13
as salty rain skates gracefully over his cracked lips.14
His teeth clench15
as ignorance drives by.16
His toes curl17
as water drowns his shoes.18
His eyes shut19
as he dreams of a better life.20
A man lays21
on the side of the road.22
His skin tightens 23
as wrinkles carve delicate patterns on his fingers and toes.24
His skin stings25
as he searches to find warmth.26
His mind drifts27
as he wishes of death.28
His eyes shut29
as his dream of a better life comes true.30
