in the halls between 1st and 2nd hour by Margaret Stacy

my favorite pastime 

is watching other people’s 

minds at work 

watch them weave like fish 

through a sea of 

sloshing bodies 

meet their foreign eyes 

as we both watch someone run 

through red lights 

it may be that I enjoy 

people watching 

may be that I enjoy 

the solidarity of it all 

agreement between 

strangers 

friends 

lovers 

little tidbits of life 

even when it feels 

like it’s ending
