the crooked orphan shoplifting a toy gun
the naive girl confronted by his threat
the pennies and lint she gives up
the faded drunk on the corner of 22nd and State
spilling his thoughts and lunch on the sidewalk
the steps taken to clean it up
the decrepit bum rummaging for some food
the pennies and lint that he finds
the steps taken to clean him up
angels watch from above
they holler from the windows
at the noise
interrupting their holy suppers
saints in their homes
sinners on the street
but still they live together
under the same black sky
