Slowly
Just because you turn
slowly slowly
to check her out
slowly
as she walks past
doesn't mean
that she don't notice.
i've noticed that people
don't notice people
focusing intently
at nothing
Two feet higher.
Thats where
she said
her eyes were.
would be interesting to switch genders and see if it works:
Just because you turn
slowly slowly
to check him out
slowly
as he walks past
doesn't mean
that he don't notice.
does it? if not, why not? you need to write a thesis on use and impact of gender in poetry. or, you could purchase the thesis online. either way, i see a book tour.
"England’s sun was SLOWLY setting o’er the hill-tops far away,
Filling all the land with beauty at the close of one sad day;
And its last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair,—
He with footsteps slow and weary; she with sunny, floating hair;
He with bowed head, sad and thoughtful; she with lips so cold and white,
Struggled to keep back the murmur, “Curfew must not ring to-night.”"
---Rose Hartwick Thorpe (1850– ?), Curfew must not ring Tonight.
HEY! jUST GET HER OFF THE CELL PHONE FOR CHRISTS SAKE!
