in the background...

 

when I go out,
whether it's
to the pub,
or on a train,
or for a walk along
the street,

I always seem to
come across
people with a view
of the world,
a view on
everything...

people who
always appear to be
a little ahead
of me,
somehow,
or else standing
in front
of me...

which may
of course
quite possibly explain
why I fail to see
anything
as clearly
as they
do...
