It was funny
To see them compete
Two women, short hair with a mans  
Jaunt, speaking about the weather

The third off in the corner
Quietly serving her sentence as
The “girlfriend”
Creates small talk, with the wind

Speculating deceitfully about motives
The third
Stands stiff as she notices that they are
Completely  
Unaware of her.  

Silly as it may seem,
They flirt furiously, giggling inside their souls
And those without eyes  
Pass by them quietly, listening to  
Their steps,  
While they sing and pray  
The gospel

How funny it was
That today
It should matter that these women  
Were talking.

This is so very good, Dominique.

A subtle message, but I have eyes today, so back to the top with you.

I love people watching m'self.
