I saw a bag of garbage walking in CA
it was raing and she wore a silver garbage bag
people called her the grabage lady
in Hawaii at the park at first I thought i saw a garbage bag, but then noticed it was moving
hunched up, tangled hair
no more prayers
broken dreams? What had made this young woman come here?
I watched a true movie about kidnapped women used for sex slaves
put in crates with slats in the sides and given a cat box and water bottle and some cheap food
after their hair dyed blonde and stilleto heeels given to them
at their destination they all gathered around waiting for their buyers to pick them up
another show showed oragns for sale from a group of healthy teens overseas that were killed
one escaped to tell the story
lots of things are for sale
and some are for free
like the joy of a true smile
given like a gift from Heaven
or the stars spread out in a golden night of light
spun starlight like butter
frosting the cake of the universe
one by one are they star people angels?
interstellar beings just passing by?
Are some of them watching us
as we pass by?
Are some of them here watching through "our" eyes?
They say someone's garbage is another's treasure
Grabage bags make good cheap raincoats
if someone can see beyond the money
see who is there \
REALLY

I feel ya.
