 ive no bus 2021

I've no bus

I've no bus to catch today.
No cab to hail.
No time to keep.

Nothing to do at all.

Nowhere to go today.
No one to see.
No city streets to walk…
No babble…voices…talk.

I’ve only got some promises to keep.
Like…do not eat from fridge.
And move. Yes move a bit.
And be at peace.

Walk …walk in the biting wind.

Enjoy the nothingness
Of empty …small town showers.
And if the clock is slow to make the hour.
Merge into timelessness….

This is a life…to live.
