cafe

the bustle of the city. i was smiling ear to ear upon
arrival. there’s some undeniable sense of comfort in
the thousands of people rushing the streets, focused
on countless different objectives and tasks. i say i
like how busy everyone is. how unconcerned they
are about you. how energizing it is. but despite this
excitement i found my mind slipping away after
wondering the streets for a few hours. i found my
head an empty cask. a blank slate. perhaps i instead
marvel in the insignificance of the self in a place so
populated. perhaps i’m only interested in disappearing.
the chance to slip away.
