walking muted through these city streets; space

look up..look down

look at phone…glance around

back to phone

..normal pace

..…...act cool, rouge, hip, scowl….

from

different tracks,shoes,continents but

look accessible.....edgyly accessible

look smart…..interested

caring…..look caring……

smile…..look away…..

..pace yourself……all this space….

look down…look away…..

look at phone, check time, check weather,

check time, check calendar, check social umbilical cord…….

[space these out sparingly]

look around

…..nod, smirk, understanding……..

judge, indignant

indifferent, back to judging…….

crack, puddle, gum

grim

………..look overhead/s, look under sky

look down at your cellular phone

looking down at your cell phone

looked down at your phone

will be looking down at your smart phone

will have been looking down at your mobile
