we are individuals are we not
none of heard the same words
for we are individuals are we not?
it is not our hearing that did not hear
it is the interpretive additives we add
for we are humans
living our own life
experiencing what no one else can
for they are not us
and we are not them
none of us saw the same things
for we do not seek sameness, we look for diversity
sameness makes more sense, but it is not our initial reaction
so we saw different things, because we were looking for them
the police detective threw up his hands and stalked off
not realizing that no one hears or sees in the same way
