This poem has now been also published in the Street Sights 2011 calendar
for the month of July
http://www.streetsights.org/Our MissionStreet Sights serves as a forum for advocates, homeless and formerly homeless people, students, state officials,
and the general public to share accurate and honest information about issues relating to homelessness.
Our goal is to shed light on a subject not often addressed and, to some degree, ignored.
We aim to provoke discussion and give a voice to voiceless people in our community.
We provide a space free of judgment in which we recognize the dignity and
worth of each person and in doing so empower the group as a whole.
Ocean State Poets....supports and celebrates the beautiful people who keep these important issues
of the rhode island community at the forefront of our awareness
