People

relying on the masses
i step into my own world
defined by the multitudes
the yin and the yang
of us all

smile, or not
as you pass me by
you are not whole regardless
without my full
acknowledgment of you

the full circle comes
in the recognition
that we occupy the space
of one another
alone on purpose

i can pick your mood
from the hat you wear
and the jeans you do not
or the expression
on the face of your partner

little lies beyond me
as you pass oblivious
to no one but yourself
never seeing for an instant
there are people all around you
