Graffiti 
streets,
deserted 
and cold -
frost-air and 
biting fear -
disturbance 

and unease; the 
stench of urine,
dumped waste
and stinking.

Foxes, birds -
ducks, on
the pond
at the park -

empty buses
and busy

joggers, endless
joggers - 

anger
and apathy, of 
the dispossessed 
and broken -

misplaced hope -
distaste, dank; 
bitter-cold raging.
