30 Days: Day 20- Poem

I see you
Red lipstick
Trendy haircut
Sitting
Straight backed
In that polka dot dress
Matching heart shaped sun glasses
Propped casually on the table

Cheesecake in tiny bites
Coffee in tiny sips
Thumbs on phone
Looking busy
But
Sneaking glances

Desperately trying to project
Something

I am interesting
I am unique
I am different
And deep

And maybe
Maybe you are
But then
So am I
And she
And he
And we
Them

We are all stuck
Muddled
In the purgatory
Of being
One in a million
And
Just one of the millions
Exceptional
And yet
Not the least bit
Exceptional

And for all our grasping
At individuality
We never find ourselves far
From feeling
And doing
And being
So much like
Everyone else

I see me
Glossed lips
Striped shirt
Match purposfully
With red cropped pants
Sitting
Straight backed
Steve Madden bag
Flung on the table
Thumbs on phone
Looking busy
But
Sneaking glances

Desperately trying to project
Something
