A women, a phone stumbling in her shaking hand, wiping soft tears off of her sunken cheeks
She walks forward with a smile slapped onto her face.
A man, laughing at someone’s comment, as they walk away he rolls his eyes,
He walks the other way chuckling to himself.
A girl, head bowed down, eyes going left and right, devouring something on her phone
And smiling victorious as she struts away.
A boy, fingers intertwined with a girl’s while his eyes stare at his friend’s lips, wanting
But knowing he has a dangerous secret.
A figure, eyes tracing his moves, noting his hand movement, and sees him walk into a building, and stalks out of his hiding space with a scowl on his face.
A child, chubby palms touching everything, wandering as his mom smiles and chases after him with outstretched arms, while memories fill her eyes and fear grows and she walks a little faster.
I wrote this while watching other people's expressions. I know it's a little weird but I like it.
