An Experiment!

As I walked on the

dusty pavement

I shed my identity..

And then I was a nobody

A happy nobody in the

blue funk world..

A magician waved his wand

And all of a sudden

I was everybody..

The beggar on the busy street

A dog indifferent with hollow eyes

Those wilted flowers of 

a shady tree.

Minds yearning for salvation..

I was becoming the Earth

Bare and burdened

Rain, a heart stirring sob

Wind, warm from 

an anguished sigh..

I was becoming everyone

everyone without a soul..

I wanted back my identity,

One which I never owned..

Too late, a voice said,

A regretting me, melted 

in the crowd..
