Speaking to someone in passing
Saying, hello
They seem to just look over you
Like you aren't there

Asking a question
The silence creeps in
No one replies
Hello, is anyone there?

Being seen and heard
Not much to ask
Doesn't cost anything
No credit card or cash

Perhaps it's lazy lips
No need to part your mouth
In an effort, to be civil or kind
Just keep your head down looking south

Are you that self-centered
Too busy to speak
How does it feel when it happens to you
You are not so unique

Get out of your head
Come back down to earth
Live in the real world
Not in a fictional place instead

Too much of a burden to exchange a greeting?
To smile or wave to someone in passing
Just a simple gesture between people
Try it, it is not so fleeting
