Tramp

U tramp, Thomas




















Looked down on us the lowest of the low
Had a label - TRAMP
it was yesterday, or is it today?

I cringe sometimes when I think of it
The sound of iron on stone
it was yesterday, or is it today?

Always a big overcoat
Never a decent pair of shoes
it was yesterday, or is it today?



Danny Collins



Poem from The Homeless Library, the first history of British homelessness. Told through poems, interviews, artworks and handmade books. 

A documentary film about the project can be found here.
