Notes About The Poem

There They Go

way off into the distance
the purr of traffic
the endless flow of people
hurrying and scurrying

busy with their lives
going forward
making plans
moving steadily

charging ahead
not looking back
never questioning or hesitating
not slowing down for regrets

Gary Radice July 28, 2022 at 11:41 PM More haste, less speed has never rung truer. I wonder how many people out there take time out to actually reflect upon and enjoy 'the now'? For rat race read robot race. Nice write Line. Cheers - Gary Line Gauthier July 29, 2022 at 5:51 AM Thanks, Gary... this feels a little dated due to covid having slowed things down dramatically. And I dare hope that for many the pace will not ever go back to what it was pre-covid.
