Frozen

One afternoon

I came upon a …

everywhere I glance I see nothing

moments of indecision.

Take a walk around the block

that old adage

street sidewalks look always the same

hundreds of miles away

even upon your doorstep

the emotion received will be the same

static

Glance across the avenue and watch the children play

their world wide open with many exciting

spells of innocent laughter

They’re not frozen yet,

constantly in motion

alive with every fiber of their body.

Want to step inside my mind

I’ll provide the key

just know I can never quite be sure what you might find.

Though I would approve the study

if it helps melt the ice of indecison.

The sky is blue

lights change systemically

the world has a rhythm

continues to drum the slow cadence

a mechanical mecca mastered

in the light of day

repeats itself again and some more

thought I might be redundant again

over and over beyond the notion of change

that is forgotten about long ago

frozen in memory

We will see another sun rise

and the wheels wind by again

despite the frozen atmosphere

wallowing in tune with a late evening sunset.
