Others
others,
keep the inside –
just as that,
inside
they have billboard eyes
ones,
that advertise
not who they are
but what they want to see
and part of me envies them
no slapdash emotions
like egg on my face
discernible distance
actual space
between the surface
and lies inside
James Garratt – January 2008
