Time Drift Poem by francis e.rudy

sitting at a stop light
i let my mind drift away,
i'm somewhere far away.

don't know how much time i've got,
on this earth or at this stoplight
forgot where i was or was about.

a pretty young woman crosses the street
in front of me, we're both afraid to let our eyes meet.
niether one of us is getter any younger!

another chance i watched walk by
what is this fear we have to simply say hi?

i tried my best to love you
i see pieces of people drive by
the radio plays low, a love song from long ago

someone blows their horn
its time for me to go!
