Poetry / Faith (Analysis)

The clothes in my closet barely last me three weeks
It frustrates me.
I see women and men who sleep undisturbed alongside downtown streets
Under bridges, beside bayous
Of foul disgust, meuky, waste-filled waters
That remain still and calm.
Harboring unknown life,
Surrounded by greenery.
Mocking birds bathe there too.
Some fly off into the winds,
Wings spread,
They believe they can fly
Though the waters have soaked into their porous beaks, and
They lose their song.
Those are the ones that watch me from outside my window
As I get dressed in the morning.

You are observing (or taking note of) the homeless? While you gripe about
gaining weight as your clothes no longer fit you? While you have an abundance
of food to eat there are many hopeless ones whose thirst gets quenched by
the same water birds bathe in? This is how I understand your poem. I find it
a bit sophmorish but think I get the gist of it.
