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.

Kp Nunez July 17, 2015 at 9:26 AM Very nice experiment, Josie. More room than footles but brief enough to suit the lightheartedness of your subject. Good one! Josefina Costales July 17, 2015 at 11:50 PM I don't know how to write footle, is that another form of poetry...but salamat for dropping by and your enlightening comment
