They are small steps
One each after
Taken by young
Old
Ethnicity not determining
As exception or example

Buy me another
Or flash for beads
It’s easy… the world
Does not exist
Except on these few block
Of an age old street

Tell me a fortune

Tap me a dance

Illusions

Don’t acknowledge
Reality

I remember

A summer day
When I was bored
And thought about traveling
Taking you places
To experience those things
I now have seen
And dismissed as empty shells
Not even a crab would
Crawl into
Unless

They were human

You dream,
I cry
And cannot
Desensitize
Myself to
Ghosts
That cry muddy tears
Sighing
On a cold wind

Such insight...so personal and yet so anonymous. Very well done. ThisDiamond
