I

I feel like I live in a little glass box.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Most days I don't remember

if I ever existed.

I walked into a crowded room

and I thought I said hello.

But not a single head was turned

as if my words were never heard,

they never left my mouth.

I drifted lazy 'round the room,

smoke from cedar pipe.

I passed between bodies statuesque,

really more like trees,

ne'er a word was spoke to me

ne'er a soul had noticed.

Just as quick as I'd appeared

I made my silent leave.

A leaf dropped on a placid lake

a ripple gone unnoticed.

I feel like I live in a little glass box.

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

Most days I don't remember

if I ever existed.
