MORNING WALK

Rich in money, houses and trees
A man conspired with his chemistry
To retire for an eternity
From his single chance at living

How many stories
Of love and loss
Have I unknowingly passed
On my morning walks through the neighborhood

[A clinically depressed neighbor shot himself as I was walking down his street one morning. I heard the shot but only later the story]
