Watching movies all of our lives,
imagined scenarios,
romantic interludes
with coveted designs
all created within the scope
of such sweet select yearn
we celebrate a constant envy.
While the world reminds
us of simple routine,
a Thanksgiving Day parade
the Macy’s celebration,
streets lined with normalcy,
our world in a capsule
filled with smiles and reason.
Watching a stranger now,
who did once lead a life,
a sort of mechanical failure
brought him to his knees
standing outside
a warmth and peace inside.
We choose our lives.
Would we that gather an
idyllic scenario
now that terms are met
could we ever disregard
the notion of our lives
to be the
sweet remembrance of why.
In lasting conversations with friends
as memory suggests, pretend.
