Watching

The sidewalk isn't long enough

So this is where we stay

Watching bright white tennis shoes scuff

Endless streaks of grey


Littered with drunk men's howls

"I know I should have made it"

Years go by and the stench only fouls

Mocking this ground we sit, degraded


The youngest is unlike them, he sits alone

Not admitting this place is his home

But like all others, he will begin to moan

Watching others walk the path he used to roam
