Invisible

Invisible I see you, And all those people Rushing about, Going here, Going there, Going somewhere That isn't there, As if time Was running out............ Or perhaps you might Miss something, It must be important, You've forgotten To notice me. Blinkered vision, One direction, Autopilot, Sat nav, Kiss the wife, Kiss the kids, Kiss reality goodbye. Thinking.......... Always thinking, Work, Sales, Work, Shopping, Work, Lunch, Work Yourself Into The Ground, It must be important work, You've forgotten To acknowledge me. I'm the quiet one Sipping coffee, Eating cake, Watching You, Watching People Rushing about. I am contemplating A crossword; Seven across, busy, Two down, urgent, Eleven across, blinkered, Ten down, robotic, One across the street Someone across the street Stopped and looked at me, I'm not sure if you saw me, "Hello, it's me! Don't you see? I am here! I am here" I am the one you ignore, I am conversation you never had, I am the child you smacked, I am the person you live with, I am the friend you don't see, I am the life you had, I am the stranger You've become, I am com pli cated, Compassionate, Empathic, Lonely, Existing. Sometimes.......... I'm important, Sometimes.......... Not, Sometimes.......... I think I'm an alien, Sometimes.......... I am, Mostly.......... I Am Invisible.
