M a n / B o y

Man / Boy

A man and a boy walk past each other on the street,
The man says nothing, neither does the boy
But they both see one thing in the other
The boy sees himself in the future
Bring home the bread
The leader of the house and a responsible man
The man too sees himself in the past
A care free boy
No heavy burdens
As they continue to walk they both eye each other with admiration.


While I was writing this poem was thinking a bit about strangers in a car and i thought that this poem was a good reflection of it as sees the world throught the eye of the stranger. I kinda wanted to show that people really can see them self in other people and I hope that this poem does just that.
