“We are out of time!”
"We are all broken!"
shouted the crazy man
on the street corner.
"We are out of time,
and the end is near,"
he continued
as people walked by
sipping their lattes.
Only I stopped.
his face glowed
with a light
I've never seen
and his words seemed to rise
above the din of the city.
"The time is upon us!"
he warmed.
A man stopped before him
"What time is it? he asked
the man stopped
rolled up his sleeve
and looked at the Rolex
on his wrist.
"4:30," he said calmly
and then carried on:
"We are all doomed!"
I sipped my coffee
and walked on.
