Millions of lives interwoven in a city, all with their own detail.


Poem Artwork

The view across the river

it looks jalf asleep,

a stillness tells lies

about this place.

I do not hear the feet

nor the voices that speak

not even the mobil

with its annoying tune,

you know the one

diddly diddly

dip dip dee

but I do not hear ot

its not bothering me.

'Hey you over there, in the silent cuty,'

'tell me about your lives

I need a story.'

A bike padlocked to the railings

going no where

thats for sure,

no rider no people

this side or that

a view across the river

only silence comes back.

Your work shows a curiosity and interest in just about everything, and you write in a way that makes for very pleasant reading. I'm enjoying exploring your thoughts, though not commenting on each one.

This reminds me of the old adage that "one can be alone in a crowd of many". The picture is well depicted by your poem--indicating stillness and silence. Nice job.
