First of all, I like this photo a lot. It's rather stark but that's the point, I think.
As to the bag, I was going to say it holds his lunch, but he'd have to be a big eater. So, maybe tools? Nah, somebody would steal them. Clothes for going dancing after work? Or maybe just trash? :-)
Some legends in a race, minds spiked with desperate ambition to get a bigger, higher, taller, richer abode, to look down in blind victory on others scrounging below.
And the homeless, construction laborer, with a roof in the village back home, slogs in the city, carrying his fears, ambitions, hunger, and worries, stuffed in a bag , hung open to the elements on the 25th floor where he works, hoping Someone Up There in the sky looks out for him....

Some legends
ReplyDeletein a race,
minds spiked with
desperate ambition
to get
a
bigger,
higher,
taller,
richer
abode,
to look down
in blind victory
on others
scrounging below.
And the homeless,
construction laborer,
with a roof
in the village back home,
slogs in the city,
carrying his
fears,
ambitions,
hunger,
and worries,
stuffed in a bag ,
hung open to the elements
on the 25th floor
where he works,
hoping
Someone Up There
in the sky
looks out for him....
