Eyes down
move fast
don’t look
just move
keep ignoring
watch the patter
of feet on cobbles
listen to the traffic
roaring by
the traffic lights beeping
the impatient scuffling
of waiting crowds
that are going
somewhere only too quickly
for me to see
and I am left behind
as I hurry along too
swept up in this life
and making sure
that I am not forgotten.
