Perhaps
Perhaps, when I waved, and you didn't even glance my way,
You just didn't notice.
(We all have busy lives, right?)
And perhaps when I finally managed a stuttering "hi", and you pretended I didn't say anything,
You just didn't hear.
(It happens to everyone, occasionally)
And perhaps, when you shoved me out of the way, when I was clearly waiting in line,
You just missed the fact that I was there.
(It's true that I am rather small.)
And perhaps, when I said, "Um, Excuse me?" in my loudest voice that I could ever muster around strangers,
You just didn't care.
(Where you not listening?)
Perhaps.
