Pantone noir skies
but a thousand buildings glow
not with light, but life
people working, watching, waiting, living
through the rear window I see thousands of lives
lives unaffected by my presence, unaware
thousands of realities, stories, perspectives even more
humanity reflected in each pane of glass
i yearn to have a human life too
a life of possibility and not restraint
to do, rather than watch
