The Golden Rule (Free verse) by phbiscuit
"I would die for your sins. I love you all."
I found something sweet in that
Pepsi-Cola can with the pop top
Stuck inside it,
Clinking when I picked it up to
Take a sip.
He walked back down the street
Where he sat in the shade
Of a rusty stop sign
And whittled away his time
Painting pictures on postcards
Of little towns where it seemed
No one lived--
If the empty streets
Were any indication.
There was always a stop sign, though,
Bright red and new
Standing tall in the foreground
As if he knew
Someday, someone would drive through.
