I Can See You

[syllabic poem] I can see you staring and I like it - hello, what do you see when you see me wink at you, smile in return. Strange man gaping or gawking not 'shamed, fascinated not embarrassed but preening like peacock ego stroked by female adulation. these moments pass we are just ships or chance strangers - encounters life tosses away - leftover crumbs. @jjote 07172015

Very nice experiment, Josie. More room than footles but brief enough to suit the lightheartedness of your subject. Good one!
