I Saw Myself

This is my best effort poem. The choice I had to do what I wanted resulted in a pretty unique pattern and message. I like this one...tell me what you think.

I Saw Myself

I saw myself on a city street
I saw the people chat and hurry their feet
They were all so focused on the time of the day
I tried to get their attention but they had nothing to say
They only walked past with somewhere to be
They didn’t see me

I saw myself in a parking lot
I saw the people and the things they had bought
They were all so focused on finding their cars
I tried to get their attention but no meeting was ours
They only fumbled with their lock and key
They didn’t see me

I saw myself in a limousine
I saw the people basking in the rare scene
They were all so focused on the glamour and poise
I tried to get their attention but they didn’t notice my noise
They only delighted themselves with endless glee
They didn’t see me

I saw myself in the driver’s seat
I saw a person with a smile so sweet
She was so focused on the perfect soft tune
I gained her attention with the sounds that were strewn
She only turned her head left to some degree
She saw me

That makes two of us
