A boy with tattered clothes and a sad expression sits on the broken sidewalk of a narrow street, people scurrying around him with their loud voices and their hurried glances.
A thin, sickly looking girl stares at the horizon with a far off expression, her legs dangling over a rooftop, her peaceful demeanor undisturbed by the massive crowds passing beneath her.

A tired old man looks drowsily down at his feet, his eyes begging for the briefest disturbance as the world passes around him.

This is very descriptive. It has a cinematic, opening-of-a-movie quality. The use of time for a title is clever, and I like the way you flow from melancholy into the promise of a new day. Well done!
