For Jason 06/30/05

Deals with homelessness

Sparrow, sparrow don't fly away

you are a testiment of survival

small-wee as an index finger

you scatter here and there in the city

Where is your home?

Do you come in from the country and visit

Thrill trips

dodge cars and cats and other dangers

or is your home in the middle of a metropolis?

picking up scraps as you go

We build skyscrapers up around you

buses, taxis and pedestians hurrying about

You flit around

so tiny but till there pecking at bits of food

Do you know the Father sees you

He sees everything that befalls you.
