5pm

the workers’ day is done

but they do not foresee they’ve come

as far as the eye can see

and over the hill to me

 

draw down a path no longer

where they belong. only to

find themselves with

nothing to do.

“so what now”, screams the

lone poet from the

balcony of life.

 

they do not know him

any more,

and no one pulls him

from the floor

 

so he becomes

as everyone.
