They mock me,
in my pathetic endeavors
to become one with them.

Maybe on a day
when lightening rips open the sky
and we stand there together,
both helpless victims of our fate.

Today the sky is blank,
bland as unflavored milk.

They stand,
still and aloof,
in assembly lines
of cardboard cookie cut-outs,

And parallel the sunday drive,
of pointless cars and thoughts
on miles and miles of highway to nowhere.

Without expression or empathy,
they are both hypnotic and awakening
reminding me
of my insignificance.

Hello Michele!
your insignificance?
doubtful, very very doubtful that your presence could be called such
missed your edginess, your open door policy
