    I saw a uniform moving
    past the foggy glass as
    I sat
    sipping my tea
    he was sipping through a straw
    a beverage uknown to me
    and for a second I stopped
    and pondered the thought
    that the wrinkled old figure
    inside of the suit
    could possibly share
    the air that I breath
    like there was a man
    inside of the
    blue and the graying
    of his hair awakened
    within me the idea
    that this man has
    felt, and seen far more than I can
    imagine -
    but I can imagine him bare of badge
    and I consider that we both drink
    and eat and sleep
    trying to decide
    how to live and how to die
    with only experience
    sight and sound
    as a guide.

    Nice way to look at our boys (and girls) in blue.

    I have a couple police men in my family, and this is very nice.

    That was great. I love this kind of poetry that builds up an image for you. Great description. People waatching is a great sport and this poem is about that. Everyone has their own lives, but, when it comes down to it we all want and need the same things. Really liked it, hope you post more like this one! :)
