among a sea of homelessness

stands one place to escape to

its armed security and valet service

placate the fretted goer

and its 27 dollar loaves

satiate even the most vapid souls

but the real magic of this place

is in bearing witness to all those

tortuously camouflaged patrons who

somehow present as indistinguishable

from all that other sea life

swimming precariously close by
