From my spot across the celestial room,
ever-crowding with yawning mouths,
birds tweeting in obscure bird dialects,
cars and neck ties in constant transit,
I wonder if she really loves me in the
way her smouldering gaze suggests
every morning while I plod to the metro
and another day in the white collar salt mine.
She does this 5 days a week, never letting
on how she really feels about us as
she leads me down the primrose path
to something out of "The Archipelago".
If she was more than a flirt, surely she'd
lead me elsewhere - a sunned park bench,
a line of white sand on a topaz sea,
a street corner with a bus stop - anywhere.
The worst is that I know I'll see her here
a mere 10 hours from now and while
her head will be held lower then, she'll
lead me home as if nothing happened.
