Your eyes flash starbright
Intent with interest
Open to something new
Or happy with familiar old
Observing the scene with a practiced literacy
Crowdreading
Pairs recombine into clusters
Then break up into singletons
Your eyes read past the headlines
Into the backstories
Carried by this mainstream flesh press
A broadsheet of humanity
