CREATING CLASSES



THOSE

Those who stand

Those who stand in streets
Those who stand in alleys
Those who stand in doorways

Those who are standing.

Those who wait

Those who wait to see
Those who wait to hear

Those who are waiting for someone, for morning, for night, ‘til later.

Those who are forbidden

Forbidden to enter, forbidden to leave, forbidden to speak.

Those who stand

Those who stand near train tracks, on beaches, in gardens

Those who stand before walls

Those who are standing alone.

Those who came
Those who stayed

Those who are silent

Those who weep.

Those with papers.

Those who have stumbled
Those who have fallen.

Those who stand
Those who stand in line
Those who stand their ground

Those who stand for something.

Those who wait
and are forbidden
who stumble
and will never arrive

who have papers
and are silent
and stand before walls.

Those

Those others.
