Trip, Fell… and Bled

As I was walking to the station

Yesterday

I saw an old lady – trip and fall

She tripped and she fell

She fell – her head bled

For a second so did my heart

But I was getting late for the train…

I said to myself;

“You don’t have time to stop and to stare”

But I wanted to see if she was all right – at least still alive

I hated myself

I walked away

But turned around…

I scolded myself;

“You don’t have time to live…

If you don’t have time to care.”
