Notes About The Poem

I was standing and staring at this female trying to look beneath her outward appearance.

Wanting to know what her life was about without being quick to judge. Does her inside match that of her outside?

With the small amount of time chatting, she's already taken...(married with a child).

So, we will go our separate ways for today until we will meet again at work tomorrow.

The Book

And there stood still, was I along with persistence
Staring at this book, longing it to be in my existence

Browsing beneath books decorative cover
Eager to read each page carefully before lips stutter 

Is the inside parallel to that of the outside?
Stereotyping cease as one takes a peek on the inside  

Aroused by the few first pages
Wanting more, but the book is neither for rent nor any other wages

So then, I'll bookmark where I left off beginning again on tomorrow.
