Sitting in the Shopping Mall watching the World Pass by
Watching hundreds of long lifers- the old-
That the health care system can't hold.
Giving praise to passing parents, their young, but inwardly
aware that, early life is ephemeral and nurturing sustaining.
Casting a quick glance at teenagers wandering floor after floor,
and wondering why they're not entering schools door after door.
Watched both males and females dressed in martial wares but,
wishing their clothes were colorful peaceful wears.
Seeing people lining up to wage their last pay, I bet they wishing
for certainty against expectation and probability.
Listening to languages of the world of bodies colored black, brown
and white; outwardly expressing affection for the opposite and same sex.
Hearing some speaking in tongues praising their God; some unbelievers, still others unaffectedly winding in and out of the crowd.
O, how I miss shopping for all these things instead of shopping for words in my vacant head.
