AS I WALKED BY

It was morning….

As I walked down the street

I noticed an aluminum walker -

leaning against a blue garbage can -

right on the edge of the sidewalk.

Besides the walker, it looked like

a lot of stuff was being tossed.

Did someone die? Did they walk enough?

Did they think they did enough?

Did they see enough as they walked by?

Love enough? Learn enough? Laugh enough?

Did they finish what they wanted to finish?

Will I? Maybe I should take this aluminum 
walker because I want to see a lot more
as I walk by.
