what tomorrow brings

they lie
as if on shelves.
these
homeless
men
and women.
upon the beach 
benches.
beneath
ragged blankets.
salt in their
beards
their hair.
some playing checkers
alone,
some
solitaire,
everything they own
in bags,
a cup of coins beside
them.
is there a plan
to this
or just surrender.
