Something in the eyes;
So people stay away.
Eyes track that pretty woman,
To be one with all,
the longing.
It tells.
It tells.
His need is fearful.
He wants something.
He wants, something.
that old man and his grandchild.
The Vietnam Vet on
the streetcorner hawking pity.
These are his desires.
These his wants.
to find the common thread
and know that nothing good
can come from the knowing
that isn't better served
by being content.
