The cigarette smoke bothers her
They switch seats
Arms pointing this way and that
A lady walks past
Their lips move and their heads nod in agreement
Winds are high and trees rustle violently

Complete Silence

Sun on their faces
She is wearing work-out clothes
Legs crossed, he is intellectually speaking
The ***** faced man washes up in the public fountain
The city bus rolls by at 2x the posted speed limit
They return to their high-pressured jobs

No Sensory Receptors

The post office closed at 3
The line at the Deli is out the door
The highway bridge is under permanent construction
The advertisement billboard is weathered and half torn off
The paint on the hood of the cars is peeling
And the flower pots need watering

Deteriorated Social Skills

Trash bags are ripped and leaking
Alleyways smell like the State Fair Grounds
Dropped the meter money down the sewer drain
Badly need a haircut but they only shine shoes
Homeless ask for money, cigarettes and directions
But they don’t take advise

Can’t Connect
  
Unusual looking aircraft hovering the area
The Philly sandwich had no peppers on it
The public restroom door won’t stay shut
The public library is a haven for the illiterate homeless
Dude leans into the corner to light a pipe
The good Tai restaurant shut down and is now a Staples

Feeling Nothing, numb


I am there
But I am not here
Nothing can touch me
But everything hurts
Seeing in silence
And hearing in darkness
Not in my body
And away from my mind
Catch me I’m falling
I live in a glass jar
