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. |
