You Know You Are Being Watched

You know when you are being watched That tingle in your skin You might be looking out But you know something’s looking in. That weird feeling, I was eating my toast I feel vulnerable, that’s something I don’t boast. Looking around, I see nothing But that feeling is still there Then it hits me with a whoosh Before I can get out from my chair. The screech then as it whooshes past My skin jumps from my bones As the great Seagull rushes fast Its skills all finely honed My toast it spears and flies on out My breath is gone I cannot shout I knew something was watching me. When the tingles started tingling me.
