I arrived as a train passed.
I was intrigued to be able to get so close to the train.

Once the train passed
This man, completely immobile
like a sitting statue
had no clue i was watching

I had no clue he was there...

i crossed the railroad
went passing by him
looking, because i was curious

it was written all over his face
he wanted to
forget
who he can never be
drowning in alcohol

I saw despair in his eyes

Now...sadness is the emotion i have

When our eyes locked
He was embarrassed
He tried to stand up with pride
He almost fell on his face

He took his bike
and he left

I wish we did not have
to drown...
