dear reader i hope you know; i hope you realize - the faces in the crowd; the slurring, smearing, scowling faces in the crowd does not represent a superhuman towering over you- eyes cold black; lips whispering like knives. "i bet they're judging me," you say with sweaty, sweaty palms, eyes glued; glazed to a screen, wall, a spot in between your left toe and your right.

dear reader i hope you know; i hope you realize - the faces in the crowd; the slurring, smearing, scowling faces in the crowd can be separated; shifted through - to become individual people; individual beings; with individual worries. "i bet they're judging me," they say with sweaty, sweaty palms, eyes glued; glazed to a screen, wall, a spot in between their left toe and their right. 

dear reader i hope you know; i hope you realize - the faces in the crowd; the slurring, smearing, scowling faces in the crowd-

arent much different from you and me
