The pavement stinks

and the crowds shuffle by,

Hard-hearted,

distant-minded and gravely ill with

the affliction known as present-day society,

quiet riots

inside make-shift prisons,

embodied broken spirits,

undistinguished

in the morning overture of birds of a feather

city creatures flightless ensembles

entering into the preamble of the day,

eyes downcast,

staring at tight-fitting designer shoes

cell phones ringing

ringing

ringing

 

There is no sudden apology,

even if chances are, seriously and meritoriously lacking

to provide benefit with even the slightest

provocation,

an alternative point of view complementing

fancy costumes in runaway colours

already wrinkling in mass consumption,

insolvent commodities of time

gambled away

on heavy feet

walking nowhere faster than any dancer can,

walking just outside the confines of another day,

another dollar,

 

Energy, useless and spent.

p.s. ...and yet, once in awhile a body walks by, feels 'presence' and smiles.

In that one distinguishing moment we have crossed all barriers and we have

notice the energy of life as I and Thou, an even exchange...;-)
