The Moving Statue

deep blue on Jun 21, 2009

Thoughts on a mime artist.

Stopping awhile I joined a crowd.

Attention on a statue what’s the catch?

Strange talent just standing there,

this painted mime artist a living monument.

Some coins down, he moves slow and easy..

Smiles then froze.

Amusing how it feels to be there, unmoving.

Catching strangers passing by stopping them

without even trying.

This man has a dream come true.

Being a monument while alive at least he knew.
