10 Minutes

10 minutes to walk to the bus stop

10 minutes to stand on the corner

10 minutes to watch the cars drive by

10 minutes to feel the night come

10 minutes to watch the old woman walk her dog

10 minutes to think what would have

happened if I got a ride

10 minutes to ponder what it would

be like to live in someone else's shoes

10 minutes to watch the clouds roll by

10 minutes to watch teh stoplight change

10 minutes to feel the cold winter winds

10 minutes to watch the clouds darken

10 minutes to stare at the clock

10 minutes... it's only been 5.
