Words:
We were waiting for the bus to Ealing Broadway.
I spotted you right away.
Ankle swingers, wooly scarf, headphones,
book bag, bracelets, big eyes and little nose.
So Independent. So original. So unknown.
Feet up at the front of the bus.
I catch your eyes in the reflection of the glass,
but were they aimed at me?
Why do I do this?
I know I'll never see you again so what's the fear?
Why can't I just ask your name? Why is that so weird?
Why can't I just this once embrace the doubt and break the curse and take the risk that I might just make my life better with no risk of making it worse.
Why do I do this? To be lost and not found.
I write about people, just to keep them around.
I should title this poem after you too,
and hope that it leads to seeing you again.
But this piece is untitled, because I never asked your name.

People shouldn't fear to talk to strangers.
Strangers are strange but once you get to know them they most likely turn out to be amazing human beings.
Most strangers are just friends you haven't met yet. Of course there are people that manipulate you, people that make you like them and then turn into nightmares.
But to tell you a story: the most amazing people I met, are the persons I once didn't know but talked to anyways.
There is nothing to lose, only to gain.. Be brave, ask their name.. Talk about the weather or what ever you like and you might end up.. with a friendship for life.

Finally you are back in the game! Even if the film is short and it won't let you benefit from the ads that much, keep it up. We are here for you Gary and your awesome poetry. Don't let the trends-cape cover your talent - Just keep posting great ideas as seen in your latest videos. Can't wait for more to come!

So direct. I like it. It make you realize how much you could miss if you don't even stand up and got talk to someone. You never know what could happen.

I meet women on buses, planes or anywhere, you should never fear talking
to another human, just talk if you like the look of someone and say
'how are you?' That's when LOVE is made. Spread the love, that's what we
need in this world.

i Like how nobody disliked this video even tho 170 people(including me) already liked it

[michaelbutterfield]

I love how you "Zoom" in on very real moments in our human experience. If feels like a poetic-cinematic video essay! Bravo! Have you heard of the "Threefold Alienation"? It feels like you may have some kindred interests in that area: The alienation of God and man, Man and others, and Man and self.

I really really really like this. Excited for the next one! Lia x
