i see no faces,
just shadows
flitting over the buildings opposite.

who they are
remains a mystery
and they are oblivious to my very existence
though united by a moment in time -
a mere coincidence of dimensions
their purpose here unknown
no details of their lives betrayed
they could be anyone for the difference it would make
they are anyone yet they are everyone to me.
for I have seen the whole of humanity flitting over the buildings opposite.
