Under Observation

A boat called the Manhattan II, With sightseers on board, Just glided by en route to places That they’ve not yet toured. Inside were people sitting down But outside, on the deck, Some tourists stood, with better views Of sights they’d want to check. Their camera phones were pointing, For the scene that they could see Did include the mayor’s mansion And, in front, included me! I gazed back like a creature Stuck inside a zoo somewhere, Under observation while returning Each onlooker’s stare.
