rush hours into Paris
trains going here and there
take people voyaging
to and from the cities
surrounding our bejeweled
and monumental
lady, worldly famous…
we work, we play
we travel daily
crushed like sardines!
listen!
homeless people
pleading
receive indifference smiling…
don't they have rights also?
they can peacefully exist
instead
disappearing in constantly rushing hour's
traffic…

traffic hours rushing constantly in
disappearing, instead
exist peacefully...
can they also rights have?
they don't
(smiling indifference)
receive pleading
people homeless, listen!
sardines like crushed daily travel
we play, we work, we…
famous worldly lady
monumental and bejeweled
our surrounding cities
the from-and-to voyaging...
people take
there-and-here going trains,
Paris,
into hour's rush
