all the lonely people, where do they all come from?

all the lonely people, where do they all belong?

Right now, I'm enjoying Yusef Lateef's "Cry!-Tender"



 another  memory:

sitting in the backseat of the light blue ford, 
windows rolled up because of a hard cold rain
looking outside at the streets,
streetlights look like long colorful lines on the wet road ways
going to pick up mommy.

at a stop light
waiting.
watching.
gray buildings
people walking
endless destinations
gray faces
umbrellas
and raindrops
racing down quickly covering their faces,then their bodies, and then gone...

windows fogging from my face pressed up to the glass
my fingers
doodling
outlining the shapes of the clouds
my fingers
doodling
outlining the shapes of the clouds
my fingers
doodling
outlining the shapes of the clouds.

car moving
raindrops moving diagonally
and then stopping again.
traffic jam.

more rain
drops echoing a rhythmic snare drum
looking out at people looking back at me.
some smiling faces

at the time, I wouldn't say i was happy...
but in looking back, all I see are
mostly just blurs of  bright and dull colors
mostly just blurs of color
mostly just blurs.
