William Kofoed Poet Free verse

Invisible People

She walks by me
	in miniskirt and boots
with earphones she listens
	to a song I cannot hear

I see him walking
	a beard so black and full
looking at his cell phone
	at something I cannot see

together they are hurrying
	quickly hand in hand
looking eagerly before them
	and I know not where they go

I hear somebody calling
	a name out loud and clear
a song begins within my head
	but I know not who she is

and I stop and wonder
	that I do not know
just who they may be
	all the people that I see

each one of them a person
	each one with hopes and dreams
each one with a story that
	I simply do not know

and I know I do not see them
	and do not know who they are
and that I never wonder
	and I never try to learn

I really do not see them
	I really do not see
I really do not wonder
	I really do not care

they really are invisible
	someone I really do not see
I really do not try to see them
	and learn who they really are
