How many worlds

how many worlds--?
as a boy walks home
listens to music,
unraveling emotions, colours in the mind.
the wind waving whispers in his hair.
the world is all to him.

a man lounges on a void deck bench,
cigarette companion comfortably in hand.
his world is of indifference and addiction.

run children run.
of aimless adrenaline and fearless fun.
their world is of what is and is not to know.

the driver in the car driving across
is a mystery man masked equally by his sun-screened car window.
his/her world of destination, but detached.

woman entering the lift.
with swollen stomach sentry to new life.
her world split and conjoined to another world, yet to be framed.

a boy walks home,
listens to music,
unraveling emotions, colours in the mind.
the wind waving whispers in his hair.
how many worlds--?
the world is all to him.
