Poem 176 - Out On The Roads

Out on the roads, vehicles have filled the street

Crowds in restaurants, no parking space free

I walk past a new restaurant, and warmed by the grill's heat

I look inside and I see a kitchen that is warm and happy

I cross the road, I see a family bursting with shopping bags

I look around and see a shopping complex around the road

As I walk near it, a shopping trolley-a man drags

I take a trolley myself, and the trolley I heavily load

I grab some food, put it in the trolley, to fill my hunger later

I take a can of oil, some pasta, and grab some juice

I grab a can of milk and curds, and I head to the counter

I am on the road again, trying to call a taxi, I am tired and so are my shoes
