Sonder

The realization that each
random passerby is living
a life as vivid and complex
as your own populated with
there own ambitions, friends,
routines, worries and inherited
craziness and epic story that
continues invisibly around you
like an anthill sprawling deep
underground, with elaborate
passageways to thousands of
other lives that you'll never know
existed in which you might appear
only once,as an extra sipping
coffee in the background, as a blur
of traffic passing on the highway,
as a lighted window at dusk
