The commuter

You see the sunlight amongst the scree
There was a man 
who couldn't tell me anything
Where there was once the comfort
of the evenings telegraph line
he runs wild amongst shops turned into flatlets
Keep on a straight line
he has changed his mind
where once basson roamed
he guesses himself unfree
fortitude follows the wind

Your poem captivated me with its stark imagery and unspoken narrative. The tension between past comforts and modern disconnection was relatable, from the sunlight amidst grit to the man's silent struggle navigating a changing cityscape. His unvoiced thoughts and unmoored spirit, captured in your lines, left me pondering resilience in uncertainty. The final line seems hopeful, suggesting an unwavering spirit despite life's unpredictable currents. Great Read! - Blessings, Daniel
