scorpio + scorpio= No Mystery
by Olivia Weinkeinhe sees me and i can't escape it
the concentrated gaze of someone who
K N O W S
and i am only as real as he thinks i am
as he watches the way i avert my eyes from
his probing conversation
laugh
if it makes you feel better and i tell him
well
it is what it is
because that's what i say when i have so much
MORE
to tell him, them, anyone and
he is only as real as i think he is
i look away.
i bite my tongue.

| Posted by Anne Boulender on 09/14/07 at 03:17 AM Yeah if I had a magazine, I'de totally want you to submit (and be on one or two or three or more of its pages). Nice little series of poems you are posting tonight. I like your style. |
