A life too ordinary

he walks across the big wide road
of the city where he came for better life.
the road is empty no traffic,
thankfully no hustles crossing it today.
he thiks abt his son must be 6 now,
he thiks abt his wife, stops in his step
the warmth of her breath, he misses it the most
but today he is happy; he got his salary
now he can send it home, buy some cheap liquor
watch a movie with his friends,maybe telephone
even the traffic seems to be on his side nothing in site;
an easy way to his lodge today smiles,
no being scared of the snarling traffic
no being abused by the man in the car,
or being ridiculed by the boy on the bike
he takes, his first step happy as can be...
Vicky starts his bike
it would be his fifteenth time with mona today
none of his friends could do it once
and he was on the fifteenth circle of heaven
mona behind him bike on full speed,
eyes closed on such a lovely night
not a car, a dog, or a cow in sight
just one filthy looking man crossing the road
must be drunk the idiot, spoiling the city his kind
he honks the horn and speeds the bike
might have slowed down for a dog
and so it happens the great collission
vicky checks mona sends her home.
he then checks the damage to his bike
then he sees himself mobbed
next he knows he is in jail
must he call his dad?? wht would he say abt mona??
he thinks and thinks and calls his friend
a price is paid vicky is free he hugs his friend
the friend feels a sensation of pride and greatness
35000 a bit too much for the stupid man but ok....
as he lays on the road he sees his end
the smile he had abt the empty road
layed on it in 32 different shapes
maybe it is his time to die ..
