Shadows
September 27, 2012
Seeing you
Standing there
Whispers pass back and forth
I move on
Head held high
Ignore the hushed words and glances
Of things long out of my control
You turn towards me
And smile
Maybe apologetically
And as I consider whether or not to return the strange gesture
Someone calls your name
You turn away
In response
And don’t bother to look back
I’m no longer a person
Just a name in the shadows used for entertainment
When there are no better topics to delight upon
