I wish that i could capture
every single emotion i encounter
and bottle it up
for every other human to experience.

I know that we
can't see through
each other's eyes

and i know that
we can't
be inside each other's heads

yet, we run in circles
on treadmills
and water
while the world spins
out from under our feet

the same world

as
i drive my car
through the warm rain
at one in the morning;
the wipers, old
as they only smear the city lights across my windshield
and i am here
inside my head
looking out
