WATCHING
You didn’t see me watching you -
watching everything you were watching -
whatever you were watching.
I watch babies. Their eyes watch
what’s happening around them - I think -
but I often wonder what they see.
Then - I think - I stop watching - others eyes -
trying to figure what they are watching - that is - till they are 85 years old in a nursing home.
I guess a lesson in all this is: to watch
what I’m watching - name it - now - in
between - my first and second childhood.
