Emily Danes Final Poem

[0:00] Cue music, scenes of city life; text appears on screen:

Sonder; 
The realization
That each random passerby
Is living a life 

[0:21] Music gets louder; text appears on screen:

As vivid 
And complex 
As your own 

[0:46] Scenes of nature and more city life; text appears on screen:

Population with their own ambitions; 
Friends, 
Routines , 
Worries, 
And inherited crazieness

--an epic story that continues invisibly around you
Like an anthill sprawling

[1:46] Scene of people entering subway train; text appears on screen:

Deep underground
With elaborate passageways 

[2:01] Scenes of forest; text appears on screen:

To thousands of other lives 
That you’ll never know
Existed, 

[2:24] Scene of man taking photograph; text appears on screen:

In which you might appear
Only once, 

As an extra sipping coffee in the background, 

[2:36] Scene of traffic in high speed; text appears on screen:

As a blur of traffic 
Passing on the highway, 
As a lighted window at dusk 

[2:49] Music fades out and screen fades to black.
