I was invisible today!
I watched as they came and went as I strolled along the blocks filled with merchants and and sale seekers. I passed by fruit stands and was treated to there aroma. People and conversations passed through me. I could feel my feet hit the pavement but no sound, Drowned out by the crowd surrounding me. I bet if I screamed no one would hear me. The worker bees and busy ants are out and about completing there task for the day. Am I the only one who does not have a destination?
Smoke fills my lungs followed by thirst and a sadness. Self pity overcomes me and I am lost in my thoughts. I am a well dressed homeless, an educated begger. I pause for a moment to take a good look at my surroundings. I wondered if the man standing by the fruit stand feels this way, or the young mother with her new born. I have become a victim of my own dreams, helplessly watching as I am left with the choice of accepting the reality of which I have been presented.
I am awakened by the sound of the trains above me, and the cars at my feet. Across the street high school love and mischief are waiting for the 9 bus. I look at them so care free unaware of the life that lies ahead for some. Ten years from now one of then will be where I am standing watching the circle of life take place.
I am Invisible today! All conversations and battles today are within me.
