PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I walk by strangers and I see their lives

from birth to death

  written in chalk

sometimes they notice me

but they dont notice

  me noticing them

   cheating on a 3rd grade spelling bee

    or learning how to drive

     or crapping in a bedpan, already 80.



One by one I diagnose the lives

of a million little ants

in a million

            little

                  ant farms.





I come home

slam the typewriter keys

and sleep.
