Did you see that?

When she walked by in just that moment,

she watched her and looked

first at her hips,

then her shoes.

Or was it the other way around?

Question if the shoes come first

before we undress each other.

We generally don’t care that much

about the wardrobe,

the linens that accentuate

that mystique underneath everything.

That.

If we go too far we uncover a reality

hidden beneath every core of our being.

Makeup, glasses, touch of gray,

a smile when we are hurting.

Isn’t so bad,

we can do better,

we almost got it,

well, there’s that!

Bound by society

our norms quickly become

that

which exists around us.

When is the last time

you really believed that everyone else

that

you encounter on a given day

was truly, uniquely different than you.

Space travel?

Well, there’s that!
