flicker and fade

a quick light
flicker
then fade
a man at
the pace of a tiger
runs through
the crowd
stomps a cigarette
down 

pushes through the crowd
opens his paper
sits to read
about crime
cancer

the 21 year old brunette
seated beside him smells
like last night's vomit

he arrives at work
to gather his coffee
have a chat about
the crazy weather

another quick flicker
and fade
before the official
9 am bell
calls him to 
reluctantly face
again...his computer,
telephone, fax

his eyes
flicker, fade
