A Face on The Street

By Geetanjali

A face on the street -
What is he thinking about?
The errant son, the nagging wife
The neighbor with the sultry pout?

He passes by-
Does he see me, too?
Or is he only worried if
The divorce will come through?

Chewing gum on his shoe -
Will he know it’s there?
Perhaps he only thinks of
What his mistress is going to wear

A face on the street -
I wonder where he goes?
When he’s weary and tired
Of this life he never chose
