Welcome advice John. I like the lingering at the end of the lines, giving weight to more ponderings. The idea of a circle is fundamental and could contain its own universality.

Yes, a sad image of today.
My favourite 'poem' on homelessness has always been a song: 'Streets of London' by Ralph McTell. It's also the sound of my youth both listening and singing in a circle with friends:

Hee-Hee! Yes, amusing thought, Cynthia. Lots of fun.
And No, Don I was born in Blythe, grew up in Africa and have spent only 45 years here in Oz - oh except a short 18 months in the cradle of storytelling 15 years ago.

To enter through its gate

Get in before too late

Yum! WOLers are a treat

Ugh! Very unpleasantly descriptive. I saw a cat once on the motorway that had been hit the first time and was just waiting............ I did stop to see if I could get it, but it was either him or me, so........ I've always felt sligjhtly ashamed of this.

Nice one again Tom - 'write hard and clear about tangled emotion' -

It is a fact that "it's" abbreviates a position
And that "its" portrays possession.
No cause is served by adding confusion
By mixing them up in grammatical delusion. ..

Hi Cynthia, thank you for your comment. I could go into tons of detail about the meaning behind it but sometimes I think a poem is best left unpicked, thus I shall leave you to interpret it how you choose.
Thanks again for reading,

Bold and challenging words, Tom, and very well put. Keep working; you are developing a major contribution, especially to your own life.
I'll probably never meet such stern criteria. Doesn't mean I can't admire it in others. Although, being called 'strange' has actually happened to me. 'Strange' is a fabulous word, full of variations on a theme.

The line about people who are walking antennas really resonated with me, I was coincidentally just thinking of this yesterday when I was doing yoga. Yep embrace the strangeness, we've all got it somewhere in our being...it'd be strange if we didn't?
