There they sat 5 feet from one another, yet they spoke from a million miles away; I sat and observed them moving their mouths with nothing but white noise coming out.
Mouths moving, eyes lost in a mindless gaze. The world was calling them, begging for their attention.
With one scroll they could see into the life of another.
Interested in what the world was doing second by second fascinating them with the calling of the unknown.
I watched them spill words onto the table still making no connection to each other.
They were 5 feet away from a real connection, a warm body, 5 feet away from making the unknown, known.
Sadly, their mind was millions of miles away, they were speaking but no one was listening; rather I was listening, but no one was really speaking.
