《Letting Go...》On a Side Street

Advertisement

This poem comes from an actual occurrence that happened years ago. The memory is so vivid as is the question that still haunts me.

From the window

of my car

I see dusk fall.

Down a side street

walks a crumpled man

with a small girl

on his shoulders.

Her hair catches

the scattering sunlight.

Are they headed home

to a crumbling apartment

in the distant rundown neighborhood?

I turn away.

To my right,

glass sky scrapers

scrape the sky.

Wealth and poverty

side by side.

There is not enough

and never enough.

I continue down the free way,

haunted by the small girl

with the shining hair.

What will become of her?
