Day 158: “Perception”


I wonder what I look like

When I run across the street


Do I look graceful?

Elegant?

Swan-like?

Floating


Do I look like a t-rex?

Aimless?

Arms flailing?

Thudding


Do I look like a maniac?

An actress?

A skater?


A doctor?

A lawyer?

A bassoon player?


The truth is

I doubt anyone is even paying attention


Too consumed with thinking about

If anyone’s thinking about them
