Literature Text

when she eats cake
she presses a napkin
to her lips with each bite--
frosting smears are impolite
murderers of good, 
faraway first impressions.

when she sees someone
beautiful, she hides her face
behind a book, book shelf, closed door
like a pious man hides his eyes
from god.

when she has something
important to say among a crowd
she utters it like the bah
of a vulnerable lamb--
a fragile thing, a hesitant mantra
to be drowned and consumed 
without thought or care by the sound
of louder others.

when she falls in love
she looks around
to make sure no one saw

and when someone sees
she refuses to believe
their eyes tried to catch
hers.
forgot I wrote this a couple of months ago when I was at the airport.
