The woman over there

by the cafe
is being eaten alive
over the expense report
she faked.
The married man
walking past you
there is lashing himself
for thinking about his
old girlfriend in that way.
The woman by the news stand
just had a twinge about the time
in high school she lied to her parents.
And that guy whistling to himself
as he walks across the street
killed someone in '92 and the
cops never found out.
He's cool with it.
