misty night
The criminal darted out from behind the back of the building, looked both way and ran into the dark of the night.
It was a lovely night. The moon was out though it could hardly be seen through the dense mist and city lights. City lights that obscured everything. There was a couple leaning against a car, whispering to one another and occasionally kissing (”Oh how happy we are”). There was a drunk man walking around mumbling things which could not be understood by anyone, maybe not even him. He held his arms out and beckoned for something, who knows what (”Oh how sad I am”). There was a beautiful girl, walking down the street with eyes made of solid granite and clothes which fit her perfectly looking up at a loft high above. She was observing the furniture and interior of the loft, astonished by the decadence and style of the layout (”Oh how lucky they are”). There was a young boy walking down the street, listening to his music, eyes glued to the ground; contemplating. He counted every step he took and fiddled with something of a square shape in his pocket (”Oh how distracted I am”). There was an older gentleman sitting under an umbrella in front of a cafe which had been closed for hours, sipping occasionally on a cup of tea and reading a book by an obscure author. Casually he would look at these people and think to himself, “Oh how wonderful we are.”
Pity that no one could offer an answer.

We sure are. We sure are.

human reality seems to be based in the present. We seem to have a foundation of past experiences to hold up our current state, and the push of movement in lieu of the future. But we are all in the present. Being what we believe we want or need to be at that moment. selfish almost, how slight sighted we are.
I think that this piece moved me because of your quotations. I often feel like describing being in a sentence. And how wonderful it is that we all know those sentences which we are living. how simple.
what answer is there to give?
are you the man at the cafe?
