Thoughts that go through your head when you see a stranger
Thinking about that cold day in January makes me feel sick.
It was raining too by the way. But that doesn’t matter.
I was running down West st and when I saw you my first thought was who is that.
I wanted to stop you and ask but quickly realized that only a
crazy person would do that-But if I ignore you, you’ll think I’m rude. Oh what to do?
And this stupid rain keeps hitting my head so I can’t think, but
Oh my god, you’re looking at me.
God this is awkward. I don’t believe in god. You must think I’m a psychopath.
I mean who just stares at someone
else. Your hat is green. Maybe you're a Celtics fan.
Oh no, I’m wearing a Knicks jersey now you’ll
definitely hate me.
Oh-you're finally looking away,
maybe I should too. And by the way, my shoes are looking very shoey today and the ground is very groundy.
After an eternity you finally pass me and I feel a sense of relief. I continue down the path; but what if your still looking at me, what if your looking at me right now thinking good thing I’ll
never see that crazy kid again.
I turn around, just to make sure but
Oh my god, you’re looking right back at me,
And I’m caught in your gaze. I feel like one of those fish trapped in a net. God I hate fish.
I thought I didn’t believe in god. Oh what the heck-I don’t even know and this point
but you’re still looking at me so I quickly turn my head, and my feet slosh through the wet
ground, constantly trying not to fall, until I can’t hear yours anymore.
If I see you again I might just accidentally run into the
river.
