Into the eyes of others

Leaning against the side of a run down convenient store
Hat tipped backwards, black and mild hanging from his mouth
He stands watching the people of the world as they walk by
Each one with a different story, a different path to life
Pulling a lighter from his hands *flick*...*flick*...*flick*

*Inhaleeeeee*

Pulling the wine flavored tobacco smoke into his lungs
He sets his eyes on the passerbys
Studying them closely, each with a unique walking pattern
A different sway in their arms, a certain twerk to their hip movements
Each with a face showing a life time of experiences
Eyes full of pain, regret, happiness, sadness, joy, hurt
As he ponders his own thoughts, he tries to ponder theirs
