thoughts from the wheelchair

pray, drown the noise,

of the wheels grating,

left leg dangling,

uselessly in the chair.

does it bother you?

you ask the eyes,

watching to hear,

the ugly sentiment-

you hear so often,

from the neighbor’s side.

the stranger smiles.

the echo of that hums,

a tune in the heart-

the noise does not matter,

you smile.
