Poetry For Everyday People
Olives And Wine
We're caught
in life, bound
by it, tangled
within it,
it seems a fog
surrounds our souls,
scares me,
I wanna live
and know I'm living,
the fog,
steals time, steals,
feel, steals moments
we can't get back,
people knocking,
wanting money, always
somebody knocking,
would love to
have that, money, need
that, money, doctor,
a lot of money, new shoes,
money, dinner out, money,
people making it hard
for other people, we
pass each other by
as if this wasn't
happening, as if
once in progress we
have to pretend that
it's easy to breath,
will I'm winking at you,
trying to tell you,
this way friend, this way,
as you pass me by, in progress,
me, smelling a gardenia,
thinking about fresh bread.
