Lying

If I Just start lying Face-down On the ground, Motionless, Not making a Sound, I wonder How many People will Stop And stare And walk Pass by Like they Have seen Nothing. I wonder How long, How much time, How many years, Decades, Or centuries I will Have to wait Until someone comes And asks Whether I Am breathing.

hello sir, you are a pro! a very nice poem, very clear and can be felt... -and if i tap you on your shoulder, will you make a sign or at least say hi? what only matters now, is to join you lie on the ground and stare at the sky-
