Intrigued

under a rock, squashed,
i peeked out, squinting -
the blinding sun pushed
my shades to their limit, glinting.

i could not be cool
i could not hide
like anybody's fool i know
i'm taken for a ride

and then you passed by
with a hint of expression
that made me wonder why
i'd seek nothing but your passion.
