It’s the morning in the city
and it really is a pity
that the doorways smell of piss and desperation.
There’s at least a dozen vagrants
sat in blankets left on pavements
as the world sneers in disgust and agitation.
There’s a sound as students cluck
(but they couldn’t give a fuck),
Just so long as they can make their graduation.
Well, the police won’t move them on,
and if you look for them they’ve gone
as they scurried back to safety in their station.
