Today as I was walking
along the sidewalk
I found myself moving
from side to side
and I wondered why
and then I realized
it was because I was
deep in thought.
As my thoughts shifted
from one idea to another
my weight shifted
from left and right
and I felt like a drunk
who'd lost his way
and was trying to escape
from the world around him.
Then I realized that, in the past,
I'd seen many doing the same.
So it gave me a new outlook
on people, and who I believe
they are and I realize now
that this same concept exists far
deeper than two strangers
meeting in the street.
And having said that
from this point on
I'll take more pride
in moving from side to side.
