Walking down the street, I noticed <br />A complete stranger saluting me! <br />Glad to say he was not <br />He was making his totally unnecessary <br />Call on his state of the art cell phone, <br /> <br /> <br />A speaker bud was jammed in his other ear <br />Completing his exit from the noise of the street <br />Nearly getting himself run over through his temporary deafness. <br />And making himself least popular with his elecronic spastic phone. <br /> <br />Of course, you cannot walk the street like this <br />Without the best in high tech sneakers! <br />Although a runner or a walker - <br />Not he. <br />It must be the newest in style, shouted at you from billboards. <br /> <br />Completing this ensemble are the jeans. <br />Jeans are jeans, but the label says it all <br />Dumb bastard is paying for a rectangle of cloth. <br />I've always found the cheapest, the better by far. <br /> <br />We are seduced by adverts. <br />Or waiting to be noticed by a clone. <br />No wonder that I laugh, as I pass them by.<br /><br />willow moon pearce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gliding-by/
