I wish I was politically inclined,
I wish I was, but I am not.
Lost - is how I feel sitting here.
I am in a crowd of people who have what I have not.
I wish I was more economically inclined,
I wish I was, but I am not.
Ignorant - is how I feel sitting here.
I am in a crowd of people who are what I am not.
On cue,
They laugh.
On cue,

On cue,
They understand.
I am aware of the collective consciousness before me,

Why?
Maybe it is because I am not grey-haired or balding?
Maybe it is because I do not routinely chuckle or grunt in agreement?
Maybe it is because I have not maturity but rather naivety?
These are the things I think about as I sit here and watch
But wait -
Watch?
Watch I should not,
Listen I should.
