164th Chorus

Grand Central Station
    side entrance
    where they unload produce

-He & friends get scraps
    of meat & cabbage,
All starving,
    on floor are iron plates
    hot, not too hot,
They all start slowly
    cooking, but keep moving up
    as men with central
    hotplate heat
    get impatient & eat
    meat half raw –
    so he keeps pushing up
    his little meat
    towards the center –
These people are all bums –
Hang around in restaurants
Where there’s nothing to eat
And you sit a table
And suddenly there’s a guy
