Behind the Blinds
Curtains or Venetian blinds,
Drapings, shutters, shades
Serve to keep our privacy
From peeping Tom parades.
Everybody loves a glimpse
Into another’s space,
Surreptitiously, of course,
And never face to face.
Which is why our views are blocked
With drapery or blind;
Thus it’s more enticing, wond’ring
Just what hides behind.
Often, though, we’ll get a peek
At furniture and shelves
And people who, ironically,
Live like we do ourselves.
