The Observer
November 20, 2011
Human nature is a game of perception
A Pursed Lip
A Ticking finger
A glare that could melt metal
A smile with no life
That cracks the corners
But reaches no further
A masterpiece in
The black and white
Eyes that flick and catch
Pierce and drop
Dissect but pretend
Not to see,
Draping a lid to the
Subtle deliberate
Reciprocations
The skin is a novel
And the pages keep turning
Speaking a language
To a silent dismissal
Cauterizing its pores
To a casual glance
We are all readers
Do we know we’re writers, too?

“If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”
