staff meeting

By ruthless48

 i watch you watch me so i can learn
about me
from your perfectly stoic face
i watch every mouth corner turn 
or eye slightly squint
until you blush
look down
walking past
dress shoes click
feeling me watching
i am
as you look back
i am sharpened
by your edge
you never take bait
reactionless cool blonde
power teflon
breathing in
cool
slowly
and being it
you are
watching me 
too

    Sounds like its time for a little broom closet romance maybe? Just make sure it's not with an underling who can claim harassment. Well done!

    nay eros, envy of control despite stressors, never a hair trigger tripped, alas this poet not as statuesque, nor could i power walk heels :) Thank you, love DP!
