I couldn't stop staring..
I wondered if you saw
the chemtrails criss-crossing above--
the flights are passing
by us overhead.
In my mind my feet are running
though I am standing patient
waiting in suspended motion,
and I am double-parked--
lockstepped wide and extra tight
within guided lines
and crowd-control chains
daydreaming of the home
I may never find.
elP, I enjoyed this also - tight and strong - and topical. I 'people watch' too. I wonder if most poets do?

Hey, Colin,
The lines would seem much longer if it weren't for the fact that I really like to people-watch. I get the idea that I might get caught staring every once in a while, though, and have to continue a bit less conspicuously.
Thanks, all.

wonderful elP
chemtrails always fascinate me - all those lives suspended up there - where are they going / coming from? - the contrast against a blue sky - the way they dissipate
and lots of loony facebook conspiracy theories surround chemtrails.
great title - seems like we / you are waiting / queuing within each verse.

I really couldn't say, Cynthia. Ascertaining an MO is problematic when the only thing that is consistent is that there is no consistency.
Thanks for commenting..glad you liked it.
