All is fair in love and war
let's talk about those
not touched by love or war
not burning red or being distressed
withering slowly maybe, at best
bystanders in crash and burns
grey suits on sidewalks
corners in crowd shots
silhouettes against stray windows
backs of heads in waiting queues
dark shapes in back seats
bulk numbers in stock surveys
those we don't watch
those who don't see and don't care
All is not fair
and they are not in love or at war
they, like the rest of everyone
just are.
let's talk about you and me
being extras in screenplays.
. . .
