I walk brick by brick down city streets.

Bouncing soles between sunlight

Soaked in defiance.

Reaching,

My body slowly shifts.

Faces turned from each other

Hands that never meet

Fluttering-

Closely kept within pockets

Gripping cell phones

Avoiding the present moment.

I smile,

Looking into the abyss

Arms embracing the open air

Shuffling steps-

Walk to run

Run to walk.

My legs slide among the ambiguity.

Taking the lead,

An open dance

surrounded by strangers-

I am at peace

Alive,

Humble,

in this brief glace

of life.
