I wonder why we wander by
The People pulsing past us
Our visual aversions vie
for speech that has surpassed us

vocal chordless conversation
doesn’t lack communication
but relies on the invasion
of our vision’s simulation.

Sometimes it’s hard to think
that your a person pacing past me,
Not an extra on the brink
of a main role in my movie.

You’re someone that is capable of having a bad day
Someone facing obstacles your image can’t portray
But since our conversation lacks an audible relay
I only hear your image to see what you have to say.
