A cycle of relationship

Stranger friend stranger 

happenings as unfamiliar

The features the tone the area 

The range the radius we travel 

1600 sq miles is the Bay

Lived here most my life

Born in Vallejo

Raised in Pinole/Herc

Rodeo my other home

yet most of you are strange to me 

Contact zones 

I sit in a classroom or is it the BART or is it the bus or is it the sidewalk, the coffee shop, the grocery, I know none of you. You physical space. You obstacle. Invisible bond. Cell of the metropolis. Like me. 

A name. A smile. A personality. Like me. 

Person. Like me.
