Strangers

Folder: 
2008

Watching every face

that passes by me

on the street

Who are you?

We're all the same

We're all some variation

of the same shade

But chances are

I'll never know you

And chances are

I'll never see you again

unless I catch a glimpse of you

reflected in some the light

of some unassuming stranger's eye

whose name I'll never know

like yours

And if I do see you again

I won't recognize

your face

because you're just

one of the millions

and so am I

Which brings me back

to the original question-

What is it to be human

and who the hell

are we?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sometimes when I sit outside and people watch I just wonder who they really  are and I think about how many people there are in the world and how we're all the same but we'll never even meet each other.
