Stop Where You Are (Be Thankful)

Spoken Word

It takes courage to break bread
With a sidewalk
To raise a toast to the sounds
Of rising tidal wave in the
Form of feet — all sizes
Fashions, all caring about
The carrot hanging invisible
but
Oh so real, seductive
And cruel with their needs
To spill wine on a year-round
Shirt in elation that
At least the other brothers,
Sisters on that sidewalk
Are looking this way
And suddenly feel
Full
Cue a violin to go with the wine
A smile is the napkin
Cleaning this day, repainted
For jolly remorse
In the eyes of those
Less fortunate
If that were another
Or another
Who would stop?
