Noticed Him

as reply to while squinting

From the center of all this movement all these people he felt like he could imagine different strands of his life. Playing all at once. 

Moving through all these people going to different places he imagined himself following one of them. If he wanted he could follow any of them. He imagined merging with them, and living their lives. 

There was another strand where he went back home. He took the money he already had and went back. His roommate wouldn’t believe him anyway. He doubted anyone would find him. He’d drive up to his aunts house maybe. She moved around a lot paid places in cash. So it wouldn’t be that easy to find. 

His friends and him would just laugh it off. He’d keep the money, maybe drop off some of the computers at the place down town that coffee shop. Someone would use them he thought. Someone would do something with them. 

He looked around surrounded by people but he felt alone. No one even noticed him.
