Do you see that man
sitting in the shade
outside the shop
his wife next to him
and his grandchild
playing in the tree
behind him
do you see that man
wearing the grey shirt
he wore yesterday
rolling himself a smoke
out there in the shade
outside the shop
do you see that he has
a phone and a pad and pen
on the table in front of him
and do you see he talks
to anyone who comes
up to him
well he is the Centrelink Office.
homeless-friendly shopfront?
