it doesn't matter who they are,
doctor,
lawyer, bum,
pastry chef,
or a teacher.
no one has the time
anymore, ten minutes
to call their own.
dog walkers,
clerks,
retired people at the lake
throwing
bread to the ducks.
it doesn't matter.
we're all on the clock.
is there anyone
not busy? not looking
at their
watch,
their notepad,
their phone?
checking in with someone
else
to get free, to have
a spare moment.
is there anyone you can
call and say,
hey,
let's go have a bite,
a drink,
a chat,
come on, let's go?
not many. almost none.
