the hustle and bustle around me
a layer i observe but don’t hear
isolated from the bubbles of others
trying to assimilate
there goes my gently bouncing head
the shoulders follow in synchronicity
to the rhythm of the music
i settle into the warm pocket
of my own construct
this created isolation
smooth vibes
smiles
ease
swaying in this soothing world
the melodies touching my soul
moving slowly through lyrical liquid
if only i didn’t ever have to put my phone on airplane mode
