People Passing

Some statistic said

That every second

Sees 1.seven eight

 Deaths

And 4. something

Births.

That’s a lot of

People passing,

Coming here from where?

Going where from here?

Bringing, taking, leaving

Trinkets, trash, treasure.

Every day

Almost 153,000 going

Nearly 350,000 coming.

Is that why there’s always

A dog barking somewhere

Seemingly at nothing?

Making sure

Everyone

Gets

A

Hello - Goodbye?
