#163 – What Can I Do

#163 - Walk On By

sent from: London, UK. destination: Weybridge, UK

There’s a woman 
crying on the street 
leaning against a wall, 
smoking a cigarette 
wiping her eyes. 
It always makes me sad, 
I hope it’s nothing serious. 
I wonder why she’s crying. 
Maybe it’s the man standing next 
to her. What a bastard. 
Maybe he’s a friend. 
Perhaps he’s just a stranger
like me 
who says hi how are you 
like I want to do 
but what can I do 
really 
so I keep on walking.

  1. This always happens to me when I see someone crying. Like getting pushed hard in the stomach – a sudden feeling of shock and sadness to witness someone else in 'that' place. But then – I wonder would I want someone I didn't know to come up to me? Maybe I wouldn't… or maybe I would. Don't know.
