watching people run past; seeing their stride. looking at their legs. how much force, how much muscle, how much focus. what are they listening to?

knowing exactly what the sun looks like just from the way it is reflecting off the trees. can the picture in my imagination blind me?

seeing people I know pass. not getting their attention, just observing. hearing their voice in my head. telling them something silently. do they know I'm watching? do they want to be watched?

pretending to know what those strangers voices sound like; what they are saying. wondering if they would understand me. wondering about the possibilities between us. will i ever see you again? will you ever know i exist? will we have a conversation? will my life depend on you?
