My Window Their Life



Not just bird watching, but

Just watching can

Also be fun
When

You have a window seat
Less crowd in that heat
A long time away
Is where you stay

Scenes from another's life
Seen through that window

All in a fleeting glance

Where...


A mass in progress
You see their faith

In that unanimous silence

All heads bowed to The Magnanimity

A flurry of people...of lives
Move past you in that thrilling blur

Luring you to take a look...

But not long enough

When...


At a juice shop behind a stop
A group of guys pose

To that camera's flash

Reflecting in your face

In...

That smirk that
Became a grin when

They notice you and

Indulge a wave...

The bus moves on...
So does life...

But in such moments

And many more that go beneath

Living stops....for that
Split second of glimpsing

Resumes in a sweep

Letting the secrets keep

What was Pseudo-nerd thinking??? Poetry??? :D
