Verse about instances around the Globe.
Image by Omar Omar via Flickr | A moment in LA
In Madrid a girls stares from her window,
“Where’s my boyfriend?” sighs she,
A child in Sydney,
Throws his toy at a window,
Another stick placed on a fire in Taree.
“Sweep, sweep, sweep,” the swish of a switch broom in Borneo,
“Smack!” mosquito swatted in Toronto.
Commuters disgorge from a Cuban carriage,
As a light turns red in China.
A mother weeps into her hands,
For news of her son’s death in battle.
Two lovers intermingle in Brussels,
As a postman mails a letter in Mantego.
Another day dawns in Los Angeles,
As a boy fights his friend in Calabria,
When the click of the time-clock sounds in Toledo,
A china plate smashes in Namibia.
A moment in time across nations,
A synchronous dance of tomorrow,
As the stars start to twinkle in Kansas,
Each moment as precious as sorrow.
