The Beautiful People

Spent some time today amongst the beautiful people

In the downtown area of the big city

Everybody rushing about oblivious to their surroundings

Intent on doing what they set out to do

Alone in their own little world

Unaware of hundreds of people passing by

Other people, each with their own agendas

Heading to business meetings, wining and dining clients

Clandestine meetings of secret lovers

All happening before our very eyes

When you live in the burbs, it can be a real eye opener

Surely the clandestine meetings are going on here too

But on a much smaller scale and a much less obvious manner

I don't think it has really changed much over the years

Other than just becoming more overt

The rumour mill is most likely still churning

But the sensationalism is missing

It has become more routine

Well spending time in the big city was a real eye opener

Makes me appreciate my retirement life in the burbs

A WHOLE LOT more!
