Ever do this.

~

Finish the conversation

Walk away

Having left a cordial departure

Smiles and a handshake

~

And look back

~

Out of the corner of your eye

And that telling moment

When you both connect

Your eyes looking right at each other

~

We wonder now

~

As methodical as your moves

Can be perceived by another

Person watching you

How careful do I need to be

~

In this moment

~

Everything we just shared

Is being scrutinized

Did we say too much?

Was that smile real or cover?

~

Are they thinking

~

About my mistakes then

Or about their victory

Or is it about that at all

Or do they just like my tie?

~

Maybe the tie

~

Has no connection to

The glance; the reassurance

Both humans need

At a given moment

~

Like those shoes

~

Wondering what is more important

The conversation that takes place

Or the moment afterward

~

Ever do this?
