From the corner of my eye, I see you
Sitting quietly by yourself,
breathing pollution into your lungs.
Legs crossed, de-cuatro style
the elbow supporting your nicotine-laden fingertips resting just above them
Non-chalantly yet with an ominous presence,
you sit there in-ironically-a bright blue polo.
Quietly looking into the distance,
your ever-smiling eyes gaze
at invisibility with such seriousness.
Confusion and deep-thought stealing
those sparkle in your eyes I've always admired.
All of it in a split-second
before walking away headed towards my own path
leaving words unspoken, actions undone
while you continue to smoke alone
and blanket yourself with the nicotine's warmth
