Walking down the city street

“A poem about nothing but has to be about something”


Walking down the city street.


“Where are you?”
“what are you doing?” 
“5th and 32nd street please”,
“May I please have the number?”
“no I can not” sure see you then?”
 “What do you mean?
“What time is the meeting?”
“yes”, “ok” “no problem”
“Taxi “
“Get out of here yaw bum”
“I need the keys”
 “Bread, milk, beer, soup”
“Which park?”
“I have to go now”
“Hello anybody there?”
“Take  a right and then a left”
‘Whatever you think”
“What do you want”
“Tell him I am out of the office”
“No Harry not you”
“Meet  me at he bar on 42nd”
“Have it gift wrapped?”
How many did you say?”
“I was not there!”
“It broke OMG”
“Yeas dear”
“I know already , give it a rest”
“Click clack” 
“Creak”
The door slams behind
and silence fills the room.

I love this one. You so well illustrate the noise and chatter you hear walking along the city street and hint to the peaceful Oasis that awaits us at home. Wonderful!

Chaos never felt so innovative!
The powerful imagery and antsy feel of this piece is so tangible,
a wonderful poem about nothing! lol

I enjoyed it.
