Main Street

 

I walk aimlessly down Main Street

Just to see and feel people’s living

At a corner of this city  

 

A man in suit holding a briefcase

Looking straight walking in a hurry

Reminds me of my past busy life

 

The young couple hand in hand

Engaged in their own conversation

A lovely scene evokes my memories

 

A small group of uniformed students 

Laughing and playing around

A carefree age once I also enjoyed

 

A hollow-eyed man sitting against a pillar

Oblivious to his surroundings

That site is his home

 

And I am an onlooker

Trying to imagine their lives

Weaving them into my city impression
