You Are Here Today


Here you are watching.
You never asked for this
yet none-the-less, you
are here standing beside
the old man at the bus
stop, watching the lady
rummaging through her
satchel, eyeing the bicycle
rider passing by. This is
your world now to observe
or ignore. What you are
thinking makes perfect
sense to you, but is of
no consequence to others
on the street. You keep
up or get left behind.
There will be no record
of this day, except to
say, everything is as
it has been, as it shall
remain. There is a
five dollar bill on the
sidewalk. You stop,
look around. You bend
over and reach out.
There are winners and
losers today, each and
every day. What else
is there to say?
