sometimes you'll forget yourself and look into somebody's eyes and they will be angry, or afraid, or both at once. they'll smile at you as if you are a camera but they turn away so quickly so quickly that maybe they imagined you, after all. in this world, nobody wants to know you. still, you see everything they are and they are everything.

sure. i enjoyed the poem. "there goes another one" was what i said kind of daydreamishly as a witness to what happened in your poem. meaning we lost another one to 'everything'. i hope you're okay with that.

this I like. it captured a "thing" and played it back from a different perspective. especially the "perhaps they just imagined you" twist. :)
