Professionals on a Downtown Sidewalk
Professionals on a Downtown Sidewalk
Such purpose in their steps,
(I wish my thoughts walked upon
my brain in such a manner).
Eternity’s border is, to them,
their next deadline,
and they approach faithfully,
fearless as a God.
Death must get lost
somewhere in the middle of their
to-do lists —
not starred, not underlined,
just another task requiring the attention
of their reliable feet.
