Born in the Workhouse

Steve Coel
So many daytime hideaways
are in backspaces,
unseen from roads
and rear view mirrors.
Here, feral torn shoes 
will again be shredded 
by rubble and broken glass,
as shaking hands 
are being shaken
between tracksuits 
worn to hide 
shape, weapons and sex.
You will return again tomorrow
because here real trade 
is invisible,
unknown.
