Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Spying On Others

I am sitting at the secretary’s desk, the biggest conference score.
I am a voyeur today, thirteen screens, show the playgrounds and the door.
Thirteen screens showing parental visitors moving to and fro,
Screens that feature students with their moms, a great big picture show.
I watch them in the hallways, I watch them down the stairs.
I watch them twist and shout, I watch them flip their hairs.
Thirteen screens.  Movie popcorn is the only thing I lack.
So here I sit and watch, chuckling as I eat another snack.

Arthur Vaso October 22, 2018 at 10:41 PM Only 13 cameras? Man I have 224, I spy with my little eye........... This was so cute! Caren Krutsinger October 23, 2018 at 6:08 AM Thank you Arthur. They are all on the secretary's desk. I make them let me "play" secretary any second she needs to step out.
