I see you seeing me
In that moment before you look away,
That I’m different somehow
Out of place, like a photo that just isn’t level.
I see you seeing me
When we lock eyes
Daring the other to turn away
And you will, unless you have something lewd to say.
I see you seeing me
As a child with shy eyes
But with a smile returned
Timidly and genuinely...that is if if I smile first.
I see you
As you dig through the trash looking for paper
As you take water from the street main
As you stop to pet a dog that isn’t yours
And I won’t let my eyes linger too long.
I will smile at you
Because I know the other side of seeing me.
