Trying to catch
a smile or hello
Tougher by the day
everyone on the go
Look in the mirror
I’m as bad as the rest
Still up to me
What I focus on next
Slow, quiet moments
Staring at the stars
Strolling on the sidewalk
Cruising in our cars
Fighting for yours
Struggling for mine
All slowly losing
Our spaces in time
Hanging on facebook
Sending a tweet
Gets in the way
Of the people we meet
Got more to do
Can’t stay focused
Busy, busy, busy
Oh Somebody help us
Searching for a glance
chance to say hello
stuck in the race
on your mark, get set, go
Pause for a thought
Take a deep breath
Dream a dream
And take it West
try to find
the white picket fence
will any of this world
start making sense
got gadgets and gizmos
to keep us connected
but these clever devices
are not what we expected
