ROSE-TINTED GLASSES

Streets noisy but silent

bobby doesn't beat, officers sleep

plastic bag an urban tumbleweed

a flower grows through the cracked pavement

pretty walls adorned, a distraction

reflected in a drunks puddle

give me a fag, got a spare pound,

nothing humble about this town

sirens replace screams

window curtains twitch

but still...

the sun comes out

lawns are mowed

trees bear fruit

flowers are on the table

typing letters forming words

a mish-mash of thoughts on the screen

most will never be seen

a sigh

a sip of tea

a drag on a fag

it isn't so bad

ponders life while staring up at the sky

a tear drops from the eye
