it was just a small moment in the train today
but you brought me whizzing through a tunnel of
filmy memories
with new truths you
constructed a new reality of the world i
had to leave behind
and these accumulated lego bricks
constitute the universe you live by
now
Tragedies slice the air in hushed whispers
and newspaper headings glare with a sad glow that blinds
Eyebrows frown and lips droop down
The occasional tear is shed
Sympathetic grimaces last
too quickly as we obliterate from our lives the fleeting distractions from our immediate path
Dead bodies and broken bones littered along the sidelines of our journey fade into an
extinguished existence in our heads
People who deserve to be remembered
make their mark in minds,
forgotten
Only the ones who hold them dear save
every last fibre in their hearts
