Six degrees of separation


Six degrees of separation
An urban jungle: sights and sounds

The traffic roars pass
She smiles obligingly offering her service
He walks pass, looking doubtfully at a map.
She steps under the shade and sat with a cup of tea
She flipped the page as she seeped her mocha
The “Alice in Wonderland” sculpture stands beside us.
She has a big bump, no wait, she’s pregnant
They stopped and looked at Alice
He bent over with his phone at his ear
Those little blue eyes talking to you, as he gets pushed away.
The wind blows and she brushes her hair across her face
She smiles, he waves, they finally met
They rushed across as the numbers starts to count down
The plasma screen in constant movement just like anyone else
He pulls his shirt, its getting hot.
Two dogs, one in a red slash other in blue.
She plays with her earrings as if in thought
He stares at the giant block that covers the sky as he runs through the morning news
She has her last taste of tea and walked away as her once clean napkin falls to the ground.
