Poem Artwork

 

Fascinating to watch and listen,
Like me, A bug on a wall,
Traveling the earth
At subsonic speeds,
Stopping, of course,
For a little peek,
But only
When the drama requires.

  Who needs cable,
Or a satellite
With options galore?
Just step outside
And take a walk;
I promise
That you’ll never be bored.

People are the story, you know;
And their reactions,
Well,
I never hazard a guess,
For just when I think
That I know the score,
Some buffoon tries to top his best.

So get ready,
All you people watchers,
Tomorrow is bound to be sunny,
And the square
Will be filled with fools,
Every single one of them funny.
So charge up your
Video camera,
And get yourself a glass of wine,
And watch as your fellow citizens,
Create a comedy divine
.

I am originally from a small town (village, actually) and let me tell you, the enjoyment I knew there (all free) was often so much more enjoyed than the entertainment I pay for, here in the Houston area. Nothing could be truer. Some may call people watching a form of nosiness, but observing others (and wondering what their life stories may be) is fascinating.

Thanks for sharing this poem, Frank.
Have a great weekend,
Jill
