i think too much in the shower

standing
water
running down my skin
i recall
how it felt
when our barriers
were thin

glitch

as we walk the streets
listening to unending dissonance
stories of lies and love
the fury and rumble of madness
swept past underneath me
and the man on the corner lowers himself
asking help
no sight lack of left limb
his heart reaches out to me
on a blazing Saturday
and we walk by
my heart sinks
no one notices
not even a glitch
in the conversation
