Description
Shadowed from these people
I sit back and watch
Observing calmly
This world slowly turns round
The dirtied man still pleads for food
The exhausted woman sprints toward her taxi
All too busy to stop
And smell the wilting roses

Turning the corner
Somehow you catch my eye
Waiting to cross the road
You run a sweaty hand
Through the thick line of hair
Trailing down the middle of your shaved skull
Please tell me I’m dreaming

The light flickers red
Slowly you walk closer to me
I realize I’m staring
Again
And quickly go back to acting “normal”
But I cant help but wonder…

Clumsy as I am
I nearly fall off my chair
When I see your eyes searching mine
Don’t blink
Don’t look away
Don’t breathe
One brief moment in time…

Gone.
Now beyond me
Your eyes torn away
Back to staring ahead
Blending with the rest

But you saw me
And now I don’t feel so invisible
Only stupid
I close my dropped jaw
And gather my things
Maybe next time I’ll speak
And begin something worth while.
