What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

And I walk on by
no eye contact, no
acknowledgement.
I look ahead,
I look down,
we share the same sidewalk.
It is all we have in common.
Afterthoughts of judgment,
mostly about myself,
I am not the only one
living in this hell.
