Sidewalks

Some people use it to get from One place to another. Others live day and night on it. Some are discovered on it, While others die on it. But now matter what, A sidewalk is just that. No one seems to pay attention To those cracks and crevices On that white concrete. They can't. Their lives are too full, Too much worry, Too many bills to pay, Too many aches and pains, Breakfast to make, Lunches to make, Dinner to make, Cleaning, dusting, filing, taxes, And did I mention bills to pay? They jog or sprint through the day Instead of stroll. People learn to dart on the Meaningless sidewalk. The walk that takes them from One part of life to another.
