WATCH, by Gabby Maresca

WATCH

I people watch

I watch as people

go with the flow effortlessly

I watch as people

look sad

I watch as people

connect

I watch as people

fight with one another

I watch

sadness

I watch

laughter

I watch

an old man

I cry

I think about the life he experienced

I cry more

do people watch me

I wonder what they think

unwanted random radio frequency thats my mind static unclear annoying

A hole in my chest An ongoing breath eyes are watery but I take a risk time has passed

my father the first time he walked away i was too young but it happened he would come back after that
