Seeing

from Sensing Life

Watching Early Morning People


Subway riding…


Crowded


A woman holding the hand of her young child


Teenager writing quickly, looks like math homework


Tall guy in suit and tie


Short guy in suit and tie


Almost identical but not really


One man in heavy boots and coveralls texting


One man in uniform shirt and jeans texting


Another just hanging out going nowhere in particular texting


Uniformed children animated, loud, good or bad


You know what I mean?


Arrive


Finally off the train


Ride up or walk


Stand to the right or the left


Decisions. Decisions.


More people pass quickly by


Impatient


Fast moving to someplace or


just moving fast.


Racing by the disabled, the elderly


Not seeing the pregnant woman


Moving, moving, fast


Unseeing


Getting where they are going


On time


In time


Out of time


Time is critical


People moving, running


Pushing, shoving


Crowded together


Moving up and out


People


Burst out of the hole in the ground


Almost in unison


Parting left and right


Crossing streets against the light


Moving, moving, fast
