Do you ever notice
the simple things in life
when you lie, cheat, and steal

Do you ever notice
those people against the wall
sitting by themself
having nobody to talk to

Do you ever notice
the sun as it rises
or sets along the horizon

Do you ever notice the difference
between talking with someone
and talking at someone

Do you ever notice
anything besides yourself

Sometimes you have to notice
things outside of your own existence

But you never, ever notice
things other than yourself
do you

Just once in awhile
take the time to notice
and you’ll see
there is life
outside your tiny box
