symbolic interactionism

by mira gonzalez from i will never be beautiful enough to make us beautiful together

people walk from one destination to another
with looks of determination on their faces
they stare at me
and they say ‘where the fuck are you going’
i say ‘i am going to a place’
they say ‘fuck you’
and i have an intense feeling of being a pathetic asshole
and that feeling manifests itself in the form of frantic unrestrained
movement

i begin to realize that my face will never be inside of your face
and that we can silently communicate using a series of microscopic
gestures

and we will understand that the phrase ‘alone together’ is not an
oxymoron anymore

and i will resolve to never be happy enough to forgive you

and i promise that from now on i will only have emotions that can be
perceived as neutral

i wonder how it is possible that there are billions of people in the world
yet i am the only person on the planet
