Passing

Passing

A poem by Sydney Stone, I do not own the image.

***

I spied you there,

Sat by the stair,

Sipping ‘pon your fag-

Passing time-

Without a care.

And yet I could tell,

By your vacant stare,

That it had, indeed, been someone else,

Who had passed you by,

Without a care.

    Captured perfectly. I have witnessed these kinds of moments from various POV and you nailed it.

    A brevity of words yet a surplus of impact. Well written. I know that vacant stare.

      Thank you. One worn by many, but observed by few.
