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.
