there is crying, of course

there is crying of course.
sadness,
sorrow,

confusion.
death is like that.

and as i lie here looking
out

upon the crowd. i see
many people

i haven't seen in quite
some time.

well dressed as they bend
towards me
and say
things

i've never heard them say
before.

how they've aged.
how strange

to be now on the other side
of life
peering out.

it's almost the first time
i've ever really

not been worried
about someone or something

trying desperately
to make things right.
