I See it Now


As I was walking I noticed the things I had never seen before Like the way the tile on the floor leads you to walk in circles Like how the tables and chairs are turned slightly in your direction I saw the chip in the tile at your feet Probably caused by someone's confidence in their stride And i noticed how the morning sunlight that was seeping in through the windows gave life to the room I saw the darkness that was creeping in the corners It folowed you around the room in circles Watching to see if you would brush your fingers across the crack in the floor Or if you would raise your arms up and try to catch some of the light in your calloused hands You did not You kept your head low, eyes to the ground And kept walking in circles
