into a home-out of the world

today i met
an invisible man
there's countless of them
that inhabit the land
living like specters
-if that's the word-
deaf to the world
and so too unheard
blind to the world
the world blind to them
ignoring their antics
again and again
he was struggling up stairs
clutching the rails
like a ship rides the sea
with no wind in it's sails
like a stone rolls uphill
like a snail climbs a tree
his heart only beating
to get to point b
invisible people
heaped with abuse
painfully shuffle
in comfortable shoes
