WHERE DO THE ALONE GO

 

Where do the alone go

To be alone

With their thoughts and feelings?

Do they find that place

Anywhere and everywhere?

Able to stop on the sidewalk

Burst in a bubble and say

Yes, this is peace, silence and music

All at once

This is the spot

The curb or parking lot

Beside a hobo

Or merciless millennial

Seeking solace among the populace

Crushing grooves as she walks

            A shimmy to the giddy-up

            A shake to the stride

            Yet, right on line

            Atmospheric river on heels

            She cavorts rather than walks

            She winks as she talks

            A feat complete

            She has many men dreaming of her feet

            Who she walked by

            Became a jealous guy

            Even though prior to her strut

            He was content with

            Whatever accompanied him through the night

But then she sauntered in

Him a leading factor

In the school of non-divinity

Found himself praying for mercy
