I Drive I drive down the same street everyday The faces are always there What are they doing Where are they going I pass and gaze into them I see nothing They just stand there Watching me drive by I drive down the same street everyday A solemn wave from an old women Her face weathered Her hand callused from the years She has no home The street is her world I drive down the same street everyday On my way to civilization She is just a passing glimpse to me I stop at the traffic light I glance at her I see her blank look I drive down the same street everyday How does this happen Has she lost hope Why am I driving, going places While she goes nowhere I drive down the same street everyday She may only travel 50 feet in a week In a day when I go 50 miles The sidewalk is her home She will know nothing else I drive down the same street everyday The women is not there I wonder what happened to her Do I really care Tomorrow another women will be there
