I look around, see eyes down
Ears turned inward
Not wanting to be disturbed
Or inconvenienced in the least way.
But there are two
Who gaze into each other’s eyes
What lurks beneath this disguise of love
I want to believe that we are not
Trapped in the frame of a robot
Thanks to the children
I see filled with this thing
That seems to harden as time brings
Us closer to I know not what
I will find the beauty in the inward turn
This human tragedy will become mine
