Awareness

Sitting in Costa Coffee, Sipping my Earl Grey tea, I wanted to be alone, And didn’t want to meet anyone I have known. I sat and stared At people passing by, Talking animatedly and looking at the ware. Sitting in the Mall Does ease my mind, And I feel free of stuff that makes me feel appalled. Amused I saw escalators, Ferrying people to and fro And felt we have really come far. I just needed a change, And wasn’t here to browse. So I let my gaze Wander about. Soon I forgot why I was here, For sometime I was fully aware.
