LUNCH TIME IMAGES

LUNCH TIME IMAGES

I went and sat in the square today
On my lunch hour,
I sat on the bricks and just
Watched people.

I saw a biker
Eating his lunch in the wind,
His bike all packed
And his back-pack packed with
Traveling 'things'.

I watched a man with a walker
Going through the trash,
He had his 'bag'
And he looked cold.

I saw a whole passle of kids
All dressed in red,
They were about 3 or 4
Could have been twins
Except for the different colors.

I heard sounds
Of clicking heels
And winter coats swishing
In the wind.

I heard foreign languages
And laughter
And arguing
And children crying.

I watched the birds
Flying above me,
And on I sat
Watching.

It was cold
The wind was blowing,
The people hurried
As if they had somewhere
To go.
