Headlights

The trees are illuminated by the

headlights of passing cars,

and we sit there,

in them,

not thinking about those

in their windows watching you

go by, or those sound asleep,

never knowing you were ever there.

It sometimes makes us feel as if

we are the only ones here,

bound in a moving car,

passing paper houses and

empty streets,

where those awake are dreaming,

and those dreaming are not awake.

And that can be comforting to some,

feeling as if no one knows we are

here, and that, just for a moment,

we are seemingly invisible, and

unknown to the world.

Yet it can be terrifying to others

for the exact same reasons.

But then the glow of another's lights

come blinding into one's view,

and proves us all wrong anyway.
