Silent Friends

on the ground my feelings lie
as people on them walk with
a careless abandonment  and
each day I scrape up the remains
knowing my work is nearly done;

on the ground my feelings lie
for all to see and piss upon as
they walk by in mocking silence,
no aware we once were friends,
but the past has vanished forever
and what we think we have today
moves by too fragile and fast for
us to spend too much time caring.
