Evolutionary Vision

I stand here watching you
in this city of cages,
imbibing of the scents and sounds
unknown to me.
I see myself reflected in you.
Your walk, similar to mine.
The way you hold your infant
as she suckles.
In your eyes I see... a soul?
As I stare at their brown pools,
it's as if we can almost communicate.
Your face tells its' tale,
our paths were once one.
