Titles are for people who have time to think of them

Don't forget the disclaimer on the right-hand side. I'm just amusing myself, I guess. I don't know that it's really about anything in particular. Just words, right?

I was walking,
slower than I used to,
with my arms stiff at my sides
because it's cold

and I was breathing,
softer than I used to,
with my mouth shut
because the air is distasteful

and I was thinking,
less clearly than I used to,
with my eyes closed
because the view is distracting

I thought I had seen someone
round the corner.

I would have followed
but I walked too slowly
And I would have cried
but my mouth was closed
I tried to recall exactly what I saw
but my thoughts were hazy

So I walked on,
a little faster
breathing softly,
with my mouth slightly open
and thinking,
more focused now.

Perhaps I'll see them again.
