Broken Glasses

BROKEN GLASSES

Horns blared
As the human traffic clawed at snail pace 
T'is was another ordinary evening in the city

Hurriedly, he walked in the dark alleyway
Avoiding the rushing shadows
His breathe returned as he joined the main street

Suddenly he turned and gazed at the cafe's window 
He couldn't make out the pallid face 
Furrowed with deep ridges 
The eyes defined it all!

In rage he shattered the window with all his might 
Scattered pieces of glass lay on the grubby pavement 
Each reflecting its own reality 
Around the same orbit -
- DEATH!
