Array ( [sid] => 53091 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => As i sit and eat [time] => 2004-06-21 22:30:20 [hometext] => PLEASE COMMENT, this is one of my thought provoking ones [bodytext] => I watch the street as I sit here and eat
a man walks by in a rush with a case
and mumbles to himself about times and dates
his suit is tailored to fit his body
not to strong but not to slim
he must run when he wakes each day
I wonder what his wife does when he get home from his jog
when he gets home and showers
is his OJ sitting on the table
and are his children each getting dressed
will their day at school be fine
just like the day before and the day before that

Or is one one of those many men who have a high metabolism, he never runs but drinks to much coffee
did his wife leave him last year and his job is his only refuge
his clothes are all from years ago and they were to big back then
maybe his kids go to school and get in fights or they do drugs to fit in

Who knows about the man the wakes by me as I sit here and eat watching the street

A woman walks by and she has on a great dress, classy but sexy, low cut in the neck and short in the leg
obviously more then I pay for mine
is this woman on her way to work
her boss pays well with sex and diamonds
her boss tells her she is so sexy and his wife means nothing
does her bring her to cali so they can be away
and have long weekends filled with champagne and hot days

Or is she going to home after a long night of drinking, she has a cat and no man to go home to
she is very lonely and willing to do anything
even spend all her money on a dress and lots of drinks
did she try to pick up a guy last night and he screwed her and left her, even before she woke up
is this morning going to be the one, the goes to bed and never wakes up

This is what I see as I sit on the street and eat
a million more people go by and I don’t know any of their stories, it could be anything from sorrow to suicide
or is could just be anther work day, in the middle of the week, that each one of us humans live through and do nothing but sit and eat
welcome to normal, each day is the same
but maybe tomorrow will be different and you could sit with me, while I come up with stories for other peoples lives
that could be real life or not, but ill make them more fun then mine [comments] => 3 [counter] => 202 [topic] => 44 [informant] => Lessa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Nostalgic )

Yes, this is thought provoking, but the spelling errors and some other small mistakes distract one's attention from the meaning of the poem.

Good poem- watch your spelling.
I'd sit and watch people go by with you anytime, I'll bet we'd come up with some good ones.-betty
