The Chicken Seller

I side-stepped the chicken seller
I am an observer in these parts
many, many years ago I knew a song
and worked these very streets, alive
singing, selling, when I was him
this one seems to be surviving, hmm…
but like I say, I'm just here now to observe

Oh, this is quite an insightful write with deep essence, Clive.. I've too always pondered about things significantly and considering myself as an observer and a listener, I can overthink too sometimes, but this poem conveys some emotive references within layers, which are thoughtful & introspective... It's always so wonderful to read your work, it's very artistic..
