I knelt down,
to pray inside my mind,
as the crowds passed by,
some silent,
some muttering,
some cackling with disdain,
and I knew then
what it was to be a human,
frail and alone.
When I stood up,
I brushed
the insect carcasses
off my knees
and resumed my travels,
the sun's gleam
now seeming more obtrusive.
