Ever took a look around the crowd
Like really took a look and found
the same old people in a different realm
The kingdom of our mind lets us judge
everyone around us,
until we see them as we must
this person reminds me of an old friend
she looks like your ex girlfriend
what about him
his mannerism remind us of slim
shady people always have that grin
With those eyes that look thin
room scanning avoiding the chatter
analyzing each person like individual chapters
Page after page until you get home
place that book on the shelf
Couple people walk away, here comes a few more
Not the same people, familiar nonetheless
can’t put a name to that face
that personality is its own case
jury’s out deliberating the facts
mannerisms, facial expressions, vocal inflect
cross examination inside the mind
what you see, prosecution
memory and thoughts, the defense
a legal battle, mental distraction
restraining order issued for protection
keeping thoughts inside not to blow the cover
conscientious about what they think
wait a minute who gives a shit
start a conversation just to see if
Tim is Tim
or maybe Tim ends up being Kim
how could she be him
why can a man identify as woman but not a kid
evolution of these social constraints we live in
Rittenhouse can get away with the kill
share empathy with every individual
that’s why Tim can be Kim
