ten definitions


wish eyes were not crossed
the bridge was steady under foot
heavy at times as light as air
cleaner than only days ago
seems strange to think it might slow down
take notice of all the staring faces
everyone's staring with those eyes
that say they don't trust each other
or anyone for that matter
he has ten definitions
and none of them are truly believable
he sits waiting for the train of thought
arriving with everyone around
as if there was a celebration
waiting for the end of another conversation
after which questions will be raised
like flags on poles symbolic of some freedom
how many really feel free
work all day and don't know half the story
never mind the rest...
