Noticing the Unnoticeable
by @Eji
There so many things in this world to notice
When people tap their fingers or feet to music
bopping their heads up and down
analyzing every tune floating around them
Or when people stare at glass windows
Breathing onto them to make little drawings or messages.
I love when people laugh until they can’t stand straight
holding onto their dear friends or else they’ll collapse
Or when I go to an art museum
and see inspired artists looking at the paintings up close
mesmerized by every brush strokes within that canvas.
I love the sound of solitude that lingers in large spaces
or seeing others enjoying each other’s silence
for their presence is enough to fill a room with joy.
I love when people talk to their pets with a babyish voice
as if they believe they’re pet is just a little human
discovering the big wide world for the first time.
I love when people’s sparkle
when they talk about something they love
Or when others notice when they’re friends aren’t okay
based on their body language and small gestures.
In fact they’re a lot more things that I notice
Or maybe I had already…
and I guess I just wasn’t looking hard enough
