Couches

Here I grew tired and heavy

the shouts of men and

women, in the streets,

or at the microphone,

sometimes they whisper

their secrets, sometimes

they shout lies, but

always I am somewhat

annoyed, but listening,

because this is what I

think I should be

doing at places and

times. Like them, unable

to see, perhaps, the

need for their words

are possibly the need

for my life on this

Earth at all.
