Observation From a Quiet Corner

everybody is over their heads
looking at the paint on the wall
falling for the imitation replacement
thinking that the scenery is the actual factual
then they vent to a quiet individual such as myself

everybody has their own coping mechanisms
looking at the finished product in their minds
collecting bookmarks already claimed by dust bunnies
thinking that all expressions in each chapter is the real deal
then they pour out whatever emotions are freshly present to a detached cat like me
