Another afternoon, filled with
cigarette smoke and coffee
watching people go by
girls with their tight tanktops
and skirts so short that one false
move and a whole new world would
be shown unto us. They know.
They love being desired. And we,
Being who and what we are as humans
are more than ready to oblige, while
the uptight christians stick their noses up
in disgust, their righteousness overshadowing
their own prejudices in their well trained minds.
But we, being free minded individuals, enjoy all
the fruits of the world including those of the flesh,
give these girls the desire they hope for, falling in
love with them more than anything for the 20 seconds
until another two come along stealing our hearts away.
This is our life. Watching others. Taking it all in, the
peculiarity of the human race. Children running along
playing games that no one can understand but them. Middle
age men and women running, jogging, walking, with their
headphones tuned into the classic rock station, attempting to
regain their youth, to cheat death for
one…..more…….day.
Teenagers driving in, driving out, sitting in
the restaurant for hours on end for lack
of anything better to do with their drab lives,
thinking that life will always be filled with boredom
not realizing that soon, their day too, will come.
So we sit. We sit watching, falling in love with the
gorgeous girls, missing the joy of being a child, dreadin
g the future and ourselves becoming coffin dodgers, and
knowing that our day is almost here.
