Nameless faces passing by my memory
Blocks of hair, pieces of body, voices echoing
Visual stories pleading to be recognized for their value
"I exist, hear me, see me!"
Brushes of incidences ready to occur, but sometimes not
Continuing dialogue in an eternal silence
Gestures re-enacted by numerous fellow actors
"For art thou, is my existence inexplicably useless to your rhythmic life?"

Well, I didn't make up the "For art thou," part, that was Shakespeare or someone before him. But I did make up the rest. I actually wrote it while on the bus, if that creates clearity about how the poem was written.

Whoa...that was...wow, I don't know what to say. It was very thought provoking. And the very last line was amazing, if you made that up, even better. And I really liked the part "I exist, hear me, see me!" That was wonderful. Very interesting! Great poem!!!

Interesting thought. I liked the first part better. The second one was good too but there's something about it that just doesn't quite sit with me but I can't exactly pinpoint what it is. sorry. Really good poem overall, though. I found it really thought provoking, actually.
