[experimenting on a syllabic poem..4 syllables this one] I can see you staring and I like it - hello, what do you see when you see me wink at you, smile in return. Strange man gaping or gawking not 'shamed, fascinated not embarrassed but preening like peacock ego stroked by female adulation. these moments pass we are just ships or chance strangers - encounters life tosses away - leftover crumbs. ---------000----- |

Situations like that happens to me often, jjote. As you said, ships passing, but sometimes these ships pause and investigate further. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

"...preening like peacock ego stroked by female adulation...." This line is an ingenious bit of observation, I love it! ~d Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

nice grasp on something that is not really tangible, but you've captured its essence regardless |
