I’ll be the one walking past you down the street The one trying to return the gaze you never gave You will recognize me by my feet, Covered by shoes walking next to a road that’s paved. You have known me your entire life. I am that guy who strolls by to the beat The one purged by your mind’s internal autoclave You will see me emit body heat From my foundation, steam rises from my core’s slaves You have known me your entire life. I am the man marching by amidst the street’s fleets The one with whom you won’t expatiate what you crave You will notice my uniform of two feet Gliding through the air becoming staved. You have known me your entire life. Yet we have never spoken, nor will our eyes ever meet Not because I don’t look a certain way, or know how to behave Definitely not due to concern of slipping on the sleet Honestly, it is only this obligation, and even on the best of days, we are working to pay for our grave. You have known me your entire life. I am the human you will never truly meet. 110111 ... unhinged smile_at_strangers i don't want anything from you but respect for our shared condition of humanity i'll leave the light on for_you 110111 ... torontocitybusrider dear girl, i should have taken a better look at your legs. 110112 ... perfectly_chaotic Take 2: To The Anonymous Passerby You have known me your entire life.
