SHHH

Stay quiet if only for a bit
Don't want to make a friend
Don't want to just to sit

But nothing more to do,
So I sit watching people come and go
No one looking at each other
Not even a Hi or Hello

STOP my head wants to yell
Why do we all sit here with no one to tell?

Keep to yourself as they all must do
But why? we are just people
With a story or two

But still we keep quiet not to break the mood
So I sit and watch everything go round and round
Will it end, I hope so

Thats just a day at the laundary mat

If anyone has ever had to go to the laundary mat
SPEAK UP
You never know, a friend might be there for you to Discover!!

It could be anywhere, but people need space and everything breaks the mould

I like your words but people are people

Aha...now the Shhhh I got makes sense!

I remember carting two little tow-heads to the laundry mat. I'd bring books and toys in addition to the dirty laundry - and we'd sing and laugh and make funny faces at each other - but I don't think you remember all that. Sometimes you would help fold laundry - and I didn't correct you on "my" way - your way was keeping your hands full.

And you two girls - oh, the smiles you would garner by just being friendly.

But I never did honor your request to "ride inside the big wheel, mommie!" Nah - I was a real mean mommie!

How sweet!  I liked the message in that poem.  Every once in a while people just need to talk to each other...the silence can be deadening!

I am very carefully choosing each poem I read tonight....but I have no idea why I am choosing the ones I do.

So far I'm batting a thousand. Every single one has made me glad I read it, either because it moves me in a special way, or because it says truth in a way I feel intensely....or like this one, both.
