Compassionate Times

Pounding, pounding feet to a synchronising beat

of the mobile phone-connected office workers.

Too far away in cyberspace to be aware what beating form they’ve trampled on.

In the back a solitary shape, a defunct human, an obnoxious outsider, dressed in the faded blue colours of yesterday, in the uniform of a worker not beating to the beat of the mobile phone-connected office workers, rises awkwardly to help the small fallen, trampled child.
