“Mirror”

Watched a man the other day, he was sat on the floor close to a door
As he sat there I began to wonder and stare
He was rocking, toing and froing, mumbled words were coming and going
Heard the odd profanity and thought he’s lost his bloody sanity
I think for maybe over an hour I watched him sit and cower
Watched him to and fro, thought soon he must get up and go
Saw something familiar there, as he return my stare with a glare
He was looking at glass and time seem to pass, then fascinating thing he started to sing
He was staring me out, thought what’s he doing we are going to have this thing out
After some time he arose from the floor, grabbed a handle and walked out the door
Don’t know if will see him again, he looked to be in an awful pain

There are plenty of people who are in pain for one reason or another. I think of a guy in school named Sam. Very polite guy and never said bad things to anyone. You would think he would be rewarded for being so nice, but he works graveyard for Walmart where he works for free at least 5 to 10 hours a week off the clock so us Walmart shoppers can get the great bargains.dunno chicken

Hi Rob
Thanks for the comment, missed it until now :-(
Unfortunitly it was a backward look at myself that brought this one to life.
It was some years ago now but still scares me when i think back to then.
