I sit and eat and
through the glass wall
I watch and see
all creatures, you and me.

Cheerful ones sprint
jump and run
Mothers and infants
twinned by prams

slow and fast-paced,
some swift and rushed
all creatures today
move and on their way

each with a purpose
come what may
faces, steps and gaits
intend to where they’ll be.

All creatures, you and me
I watch and see.
through the glass wall
I sit and eat.

Inspired by observing people one fine day.
