WALKING TO WORK

Long whispers.  Unachieved destinations.

Serenity consumed.  Overwhelming choices

folded into one decision.  Street people

dancing.  Resentful workers sidestepping

random faces.  Phones ring.  Buses hiss

to stops.  The aroma of hot dogs and

lunch.  Silent faces.  Worried thoughts.

Fast steps.  Escalators jammed.  Subways

overloaded.  There is unity in motion.

The desire to leave.  The hope to arrive.
