A lady screams into her phone
something about documents being late
she rushes past me
glares at the ground
Tick tock
A young mother drags her child down the sidewalk
kicking and screaming
he doesn't want to go
"We're fifteen minutes late, move it," she declares
Tick tock
A taxi driver honks his horn
painting the air with colorful language
as he waits behind an old man
"The light is green, idiot," he announced
Tick tock
It seems everyone is going somewhere
everyone but the old bum on the side of the street
sitting on the stoops of a worn down building
watching
waiting
for nothing at all
Tick tock
We focus on life so intensely
that we all forget about living
It is a rarity to see someone stop
and listen
to the bittersweet melodiousness of time
Tick tock
