I saw a woman screaming in broken hearted agony, sitting on a bus bench with a back pack and a duffle bag. Everyone, including myself, just walked by and pretended not to see her. I walked across the street a half a block away and stood and listened to her for a while. It was very sad to hear her give vent to her loss and her torment. I wish there was something I could have done, but there wasn't. I continued walking home. Nobody cares about anybody in America any more.
I saw a man asleep right on the sidewalk in the rain without a blanket.
I saw the sun rise this morning and nobody noticed.
