Green Street

7:12 AM
Here is a
WHITE
Man
With a 
Black
Suit,
A flowery
Blue 
Dominant
Tite.
His shoes
Are enough
Polished
To reflect the
Sun light.
He is crossing the 
Street
Well determined
Which
Way
He is going to take.

I am 10 minutes late
i still 
have to wait
for bus of 7:27 AM
Here is 
A African
American
Man
Coming out 
From the back 
Entrance
Of a Restaurant
He is tired
With a sleeping
Red, and 
Restless
Eyes
He must be working
A third shift.
He has a
Big
Physique,
And training 
Big
Black boots

He stops
For a moment
To choose
Which way
To go

Here is 
A WHITE
Lady
She walks
With her hear
For a minute
Then 
She switches
To walks
With her Hips.

She wonders
With her lips
Which way 
To go.
Her hair
Wonders
Too
No worry!
Here is 
Someone
Is waiting
To take care
Of her.

Here is 
A stranger.
His face 
Is odd.
His eyes
In wonder.
He walks
Through
The crowd.
He walks
With crowd.
The crowd
Is leading him
To a stop
Sign.

He starts
To wonder
About
All this 
Noise, 
Lights, 
And speed.
This makes
Him 
More
In wonder.
A full stop
A red stop
Stucks
All his thoughts
All his wonders
In the center
Of his 
Brain
Why all
This rush,
perfumes,
colorful make up,
And 
stains?
