i look at you
looking at me
and i wonder what you
think of me
and suddenly i shiver
physically
and cringe away from the intensity
of your stare
for i'm no longer sure
i want to look long enough
to understand
the hatred or the
reprimand
in that fixed and stony
stare.
i look away
i shrink away
i stand tried
i stand convicted
just one of those scribbles in the margin of an inspiring novel.....
