There is this feeling

There is this feeling
a sense of disgust
in the chilly evening

when people walk by
in quatrains and couplets
complaining about

too many people sitting
in the restaurant
occupying their space

when men, women,
parents and children
sit on the curb homeless

dour faces frowning
as hour by hour
their hunger grows.

In these moments
among the overindulgents
I lose my appetite.
