9:58am
Heads bob
Hips sway
Sneakers are in
For another hard day.
10:14am
Entering,
A sea of cells
You try not to
Bump against,
And ignore the ones
Who do it to you.
10:27am
“So what’s on your mind?”
Asks no one’s voice,
Except the one residing
Behind your forehead.
10:30am
You can think of a million and twenty-six
Things.
10:38am
Are the galaxies
Really expanding
Each day
How wide
Can they become?
And how many astronauts
Are just floating out there?
10:43am
If people die
And become ghosts
How many
Are staring me in the face
At this second?
10:51am
How many people
In this park
Know someone
Who knows someone
Who knows someone else
Who knows someone I know
Who knows me?
10:57am
The song
Playing, replaying
Never pausing, quieting
How many other people
Have the same tune
Swimming in their conscience?
11:09am
