Have you looked at someone in a daydream?

Stared I mean.

I have.

It's a strange action, no?

Say its a random one. They see something and it triggers

them into a soft thought that goes into another.

You can tell this too.

Today I saw a homeless man from my bus today and I saw just that.

...

He was hurt by the sight of our bus.

It got me thinking.

What will the future be like?

How many years of peace do we have before problems pile-

Why would future me care about letters on a paper?

Why will future most likely fall into debt?

Why will I stress to get paper for people who sit with fancy hats on a bench?

Why will I waste time doing something I won't like

for paper?

Why will I become paranoid of the possibility

of another struggling in my same problem stealing from me?

Why will I willingly grow to stand in a grey life with problems guiding me through years?

Why will I willingly allow myself to possibly become a victim of suicide?

Why would I wish paper to fall from the sky?

When will I...grow up?

I don't want you're future.

I don't want a world of stress.

I don't want to fear dying

or someone calling me old

...

These were the thoughts I saw going through the man's mind

Maybe,

Because went to go to an adult daycare called College and it cheated him.

Never could close his eyes and let go of his pain.

...

At that moment, the light turned green and my bus kept going.
