Looking at unknown streets scrolling

unknown faces and unknown places

i have discovered for another time

how much alone I was on earth

my body kept getting bigger until

I was the size of a planet 

I couldn’t hear a word

no matter how much people are loud

I was a planet in the vast universe

so I tried to speak the language of planets

but all that came out of me were tears

not tears of sadness nor tears of anger

but tears that can speak many things

I was waiting for a planet to answer

when I felt something in the silence

a similar emotion to mine yet so different

my place wasn’t among the planets

and I know it now

no matter how difficult walking gets

I need to remember what a planet once said
