Title: Watching You Walking
Genre: poetry
Word Count: 104
Notes: After hearing this, somebody asked if I was a professional stalker. I still wonder what the money's like in that.
It's interesting to watch the people you know when they don't know you're there.
For instance:
I watch you walking to class and back, your eyes on the ground
squirrels creeping behind you
slow
without a sound.
I would call and watch you start
and smile
when you saw me seeing you
but I'm not so very certain that you would.
So I'll just sit here
and think
that I guess when you're going from Point A to Point B
you focus on Point B
and not on me
watching you walking away.
At least this time you didn't mean to.
