W.A. Cholt Poet Free verse

At the Window

Always someone  at the window 
Looking out onto the street 
Always some curious face 
Man or woman 
Young or old 
At the window 
Looking out onto the street, 
       The passing crowd unaware 
       Of the eyes that roam
       Glance, probe and stare,
       Rise above 
       Condescend
       Pass judgment, 
       Float and filter through 
       The thick congested air,
Always some curious face 
At the window 
Looking out onto the street.
