People twist and swirl, In a vague impression of motion A surging stream, bodies mingle The flowing crowd moves like water In part I am drawn to join the decant By a sense of missing human connection Their minds wrap together twisted The dance to the command of an embedded song Snow-like static thoughts are unclear Haunting blank stares bid me to stay aloof A jovial atmosphere moves through the streets On each face a hallow smile portrayed With great effort, diverted gaze Turning to new unmolested roads I will not be swept away By humanities passing parade
