What defines us?

Saw a Porsche on the avenue,

sleek gray with rimless wheels,

the driver appeared to be, human.

Headphones, coffee and laptops

and everyone alone

well

unless souls revealed, found out.

I sent you positive energy the other day

did you get it?

Remember that time they all meant complete control

over your psyche,

no muscle could be tweaked until their eyes left.

Saw you again the other night

with your friends,

laughing and looking around

in that elegant pose:

I was the guy over in the corner that

wanted to be forgotten about

before anyone noticed.

Did you see me?

How funny a given moment can be

when in the grand scheme of things

all that we wish upon becomes

simple fact, distant truth, vague reality.

That’s just it,

I heard her say the other day

when trying to recall

just how forgotten about that moment

became that one night,

when in the bar,

he stood nearby

but didn’t say a word,

rather instead tried to act as if he didn’t really care.

That’s just it.
