The Window

 

People passing

Most paying little attention,

But every now and then

Someone stops

To look into the window,

The street drunk

Not knowing where he is

Wondering what in the hell

Is going on,

Neighbouring merchants

Curious about who is

Moving in,

Those who know

Checking on the progress,

Once in a while you

Catch a smile

Make a visual connection,

Sometimes a beautiful woman

Connects in those short

Milliseconds that last forever

As two minds struggle

With where you met before,

Always that slight blush

In her rush to pull away

From looking in the window.
