Throughout the
world
large pockets of us
gather in cities –
invisible and forgotten.
We sit on bus benches,
stalk in darkened libraries,
hover in the frozen food aisle.
We watch as you run around
to the Laundromat,
to your workplace –
we watch you
have affairs,
make mistakes –
we watch you
find and lose love –
wishing we had your lives.
We watch you live
before returning to our unwanted homes
of urns or morgues or graveyards.
