Listen to poem:
no one there
unnoticed
glance over shoulder
not my mess
hands are clean
no trace
played the cool
slipped away
not owning up
done nothing wrong
nothing to see
I'm bye bye stander
looking on
stepping away
at bay
slipping away
when no one's
looking, seeing
it don't matter
to anyone
don't care
if they do
I'm outside
looking in
nose is clean
good riddance
skated on by
Whew!
Ah! a clearing!
Oh No!
Is someone there?
