Through louvered windows, I see the lives of others, as others see my life.
The individual adjusts the pitch accordingly.
I have always had a large elliptical orbit between my sense of self and my meaning with the people around me. I guess that makes me human. Some humans are more human than others.
As my ellipse grows more and more oblong from my home planet, I spend more time away. Eventually gravity will slingshot me to another time, another place. I wish it weren't that way, but I cannot fight the forces of nature. In each last pass of said home planet, it becomes more somber; more bittersweet. For one day I shall never see you again.
With arms outstretched upon my departure, I wish not to leave, but if I must; please remember the words I left behind.
