All That Watch

A beautiful girl
Walks in to town
Dress patterned of flowers
Hair draping down
She smiles at
A girl from Cincinnati
They hold hands to the alley
They make love against the wall
Capturing the minds and fantasies of all that watch

A drunken man
Falls down the stairs
Bleeding from his head
He’s unaware
Pieces of glass stuck to his hand
He lays down there on the sand
A crowd gathers round and some folk help
Others laugh and forget what they saw
He opens his eyes and sees all that watch

A magnificent cloud
Floats overhead
Forming different shapes
In everyone’s eyes
One of thousands of clouds
In the sky
Grown men with mustaches
Stare so long
The clouds put on a show for all that watch

Schoolboy killer
Who hasn’t killed yet
Waiting for his life to be set
Cries at the feet of his priest
But Christ shows him no mercy
Scared little child
Too young to be mean
Scared little child so small
Scared little child who is never watched

A chilling reminder that while we are so fascinated in watching things not pertainig to our lives too often we forget to pay attention to those closest to home. To me I read a warning to open and be aware before those eyes that stare at other anomolies gaze upon one of your own created from neglect

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...

A powerful powerful ending. I applaud. So very much said.

Not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
