On The Drive To Work
Nov 17, 2021
At 8:45 a.m. I see them
Standing on the sidewalk.
At 8:45 a.m. I saw them
Near the rainbow made of chalk.
Adorning a thick blue jacket,
He holds her warmly and gently.
Adorning a cozy purple jacket,
She embraces him calmly and tightly.
The brother and sister wait patiently,
Hand to hand, and feet to feet.
The crossing guard watches over them,
Ensuring safe passage across the street.
Two kids clasping unto each other
To provide shelter and safety.
They traverse the busy street,
With the utmost bravery.
8:46 a.m. I must advert my attention,
Away from the most precious scene of humanity.
That is what love looks like here,
In the heart of Baltimore City.
