Look left, look right

look up, look down

do my shoe-lace up

open my umbrella up

trying to be cheerful in the pouring rain

grinning stupidly at random people

get the odd complimentary nod

look across the street

“yo mate!” complete stranger turns to look

I pick up my pace, confused look

do my coat up further, getting colder

stop outside to window shop

TV sets on and my teams losing

kick a can out of frustration

“sorry officer” anxiously put the can

in the dustbin

and apologize to the kids mother

for my expletives.

-

Less cheerful now, trying to hide in my coat

avoid eye contact at all costs

embarrassed and ashamed

thinking about illusive love

peace and white doves

pondering existence- look around me

left then right

mountains of concrete streets

and people like me,

dead beats bumbling through life

the older they look

the more wounded their eyes feel on me.

-

Home now, sat on my bed

Sun rays through net curtains

“ahh that’s better least weathers nicer”

close the gap in the curtain

sit back down on my bed

lie back and wait

…holding back tears.
