Danglers

detail from a very large canvas - possibly by Roy Lichtenstein 

they hang

on their strings

on the screens

of their 'chariots'

parked for the day

in the heat 
of the street

down from the war 
crisis centre

the henna haired woman

reads her long book

and her wheel-chaired mother

clips her long nails

at the head

of the queue

waiting for someone

to come

the result of one count

( killing some time )
