  • Summary

  • This parade of life
    This hubbub of trade
    Of needs
    Of desires
    This chaos of order
    And community

    And here am I
    Amid the throng
    In the moments between
    Want and have
    In the choices between
    Necessity and pleasure

    This is existential quandary
    Alone in my thoughts
    In a sea of solitary moments
    Each a universe
    Borne from a solitary mind
    Known only to itself

    These in parallel all
    With the essentials
    Of desire
    And necessity
    A flurry of universes
    Sharing a single dimension

    While in my universe
    The bodies of a thousand strangers
    Dance in cadence
    With the flow of trade
    A performance at once
    Exquisitely mundane and beautiful
