It’s been like this forever
So much to share
So much going on
But we don’t share
Assigning a value to an hour
We don’t care
Horns blaring out impatience
Flashing lights rushing to service
Another patient
Laughter echoing down the street
Dogs barking
Strangers car parking out front
Here to service another’s wife
Such is life
We don’t bat an eye
When another acquaintance dies
Funeral director gains another client
Our shells..
so soft and pliant
Bombs dropping in the east
Killing each other
While we feast
Whole regions of the world...
