Other People's Lives

2:05 AM - Why are you cooking at this hour? Sound the smoke alarm again. Don't wake up the kids. Bundle them up in your arms, avert your eyes from stranger's stares. If you just listen, you will hear the sounds… 4:15 PM - There's a notice on the door to evacuate our rooms. But what about those boots in the hall? The guitars on the wall? The neighbors who are at war? There's a man I've never seen before, and another one who doesn't live here anymore. I bear witness to other people's lives. But what about us? What will we become? We could build a good life in the end times. And if we have a baby, who will watch it grow? We could build a good life.
