The Cold Empty Plaza
Dec 4, 2021
You can imagine the rest of it
Sometimes
It’s nice
To have an empty plaza
To enjoy the quiet
All to yourself
But then you start to wonder
Just why
Is it so empty
And then the cold fear
Makes you think about
The emptiness
The lack of noise
The solitary soul
Of yourself
Having the whole empty plaza
No buyers
No sellers
Just you
Thankful for the quiet
Until
Inevitably
It’s okay again
For the hustle and bustle
Of big crowds
To gather and linger and jostle
Just like it used to be
So very long ago
