thighs branded by diamonds
torso tilted forward, ever so slightly
chin perched upon chilled palm
engaged in a theatrical viewing
of homo sapien jest and despair
passersby transfixed by
amorous affairs
strategic advances
and endless upward swiping
the realization arises slowly
as the glowing orb ascends
the ass-slapping lovers
bespectacled checkmate men
and teenagers in search of identity
are furiously writing an epic story
that of held hands and snipped heart strings
mountain summits and plummeting anxieties
eight billion novels, each one vivid and complex
connected by warehouses-worth of invisible thread
woven together into the elaborate tapestry of humanity
thousands of lives she never knew existed
illuminate by the slowly encroaching dawn
HEY, this is so inspiring !

I really like this poem. I feel like it could be worked into a long form rap (something like what Flobots do) really easily, as odd as that might sound.
