POEM STARTER
Who are we when no one is watching?
Write a poem that answers this question.
Who Are We/Who Am I
I admit I was curious
So I looked and am puzzled to this day
When I saw you looking at yourself for all to see
And no one. I can’t remember if your eyes
Were flat to deliver
Your lies and promises, handsome. That’s what
You were thinking when you saw yourself swooning
Back at you.
I remind myself, none of my business, I don’t even
Know, and despite the English, pretty
Sure I don’t speak the same language
As you. I hope it wasn’t what I’m afraid,
No, concerned, it might have been about.
Excuse me, for all I know,
Your other knows you’re both
Swingers.
No, one I was watching:
Yeah, I don’t know who
You are.
