Sometimes
My life is quiet.

Most days,
It's pills and traffic,

School and parents,
Work and sleep.

But sometimes
I press pause,

Wander around
The streets of my city,

Marveling
At the motionless passerby,

And drink in
The silence.

I stop
And be still. Just

Still, at least
For a few moments.

I always find you
There, in paused times.

I think that
Is what makes

The live-action
So tolerable.
