bad things happen when no one is looking. -enjoy-

 

A bald man jamming on his guitar

and the constant parade of people,

Has brought my dyslexia to an all time high.

People ride by on rented bikes.

A woman too tall with a dress too short

struts by, accompanied by a fashionable man.

They are laughing and playing their word games.

What about us?

Accosted by men.

Who is protecting the sheep

from the foreign wolves?

Not you, its clear.

A collegiate passes ruffians

dining on the dock.

Eating sandwiches and soup

from home-brought bowls.

He scoffs at the youngsters,

I scoff at the woman pretending to be candid.

Birds steal bread that people forgot

and the bald man jams on.
