a man searched the ground for any hints of buried treasure
checking every crack, every hint, no time for leisure
a child nearby petting a stray dog desperate for attention
eyes focused and fixed, voluntarily trapped in his own little detention
an elderly lady walking, admiring what she'd seen a million times
greeting me, a complete stranger, with a "good afternoon"
i guess not everyone is bad, i guess there are good people sometimes
the child would eventually be bitten by the dog
the man would look just to find nothing,
the woman would suffer and die too soon
but the child enjoyed every minute with the stray
the man would find his treasure someday
the elderly woman will be reunited with her husband
and i realized that there are still more aspects of life to comprehend
