What an evocative poem! I worked in my 20s at a soup kitchen/homeless shelter every Friday. But I never saw back then how interconnected I actually was with those we fed. I remember "the spinner." he never stopped spinning and talking to himself a mile a minute. Heartbreaking...Wish it had occurred to me to listen.
