She observes from afar.

She slowly stalks her prey, friends,

an endangered species in this concrete jungle.

Oblivious to her, they stare into their palms.

Walking blindly, navigating obstacles, bridges, stairs.

Capturing themselves, yet missing those around them.

Connected in their disconnect, they do not see her approach.

That is when she pounces — smiles and opens doors.

Hoping to be seen.
