Her (2013), dir. Spike Jonze

"Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,

You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)

I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,

All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured."

ā€“ From To a Stranger, Walt Whitman

cozy uptown street

busy-bodies flowing

through the bustling

heart of now

ā€Ž

every earthling face

ever-revolving minds

filled with divine

purpose on rock

ā€Ž

strangers' loud comfort

ninety-nine unknown

kin cosmic violins

tuned to eternity

ā€Ž

life circling life

anchor-less starlings

instinctively seeking higher

buzzing hypnotic murmurations
