Every Story Tells a Picture

not only do pictures tell stories, stories paint pictures

Every Story Tells a Picture


concerned mother scolding her child

the roaring of the crowd gone wild

the melting sun setting into the sea

an old drunk in the bushes taking a pee


a weeping soldier sitting on his helmet

standing in line waiting for a permit

pitching a tent in a national park

searching for your dog in the dark


migrant workers tending a garden

prisoner of the state pleading for a pardon

solar flares lighting up the sky

licking your lips for that apple pie


city workers digging up the street

marathon runner with blisters on her feet

working the formula in an algebra class

sipping wine from a long stemmed glass


walking the streets looking for a job

toothless old man eating corn on the cob

loosing your home to a banker of greed

growing your future from a single seed


climbing a mountain all the way to the top

keeping the faith until you're about to drop

going out in a blaze of glory

you can find a picture in every story
