Just some crappy ass poems

Listening at 7-11

He reaches for the object
just out of his grasp.
She laughs as he tries
and tries again.

Little feet can barely keep up
as he is pulled along.
Cement is rough
when your toes scratch against
the crevices in your way.

"What is so important
that you had to interrupt
when I said excuse me?"
Came out from the blue

A cry emerges as the sound of skin
smacks skin.

I sit and watch
as the cars drive by
wondering where they are off to
in such a hurry.

Not noticing the baby bird
in its first flight of life.

Trying to make its way
and learning what should come
so naturally.

I watch it fall
and try again.

Spreading its wings
trying to learn to fly.

I sit and watch the screen
waiting for the words
to magically appear.

Listening to the voices that emerge from below.
The sounds of a dog's bark
and the yells from next door.
Are all I hear.

Sitting queitly still
waiting for my mind to open up
and unleash it self to me.
