The Janitor

The old man thought of his wife,

while dumping another trayful of fries.

She'd be waiting up for him again

Just like she always did.

Half a food court away, Johnny thought he was funny,

this man with a mop and a brown uniform

"What a loser!" he told his friends

And they all laughed with him.

The old man couldn't understand Johnny,

but had heard enough laughter to know

that they didn't know any better.

He didn't either, at his age.

He thought about his own home,

of the fields and mountains he climbed.

He looked at them, saw himself again, and smiled

wondering which one would be in his shoes
