Sidewalks

Some people use it to get from

One place to another.

Others live day and night on it.

Some are discovered on it,

While others die on it.

But no matter what,

A sidewalk is just that.

No one seems to pay attention

To those cracks and crevices

On that white concrete.

They can't.

Their lives are too full,

Too much worry,

Too many bills to pay,

Too many aches and pains,

Breakfast to make,

Lunch to make,

Dinner to make,

Cleaning, dusting, filing, taxes,

And did I mention bills to pay?

They jog or sprint through the day

Instead of stroll.

People learn to dart on the

Meaningless sidewalk.

The walk that takes them from

One part of life to another.
