It’s time to look up [Poem]

For just a fraction of a minute

I see you walking by -

Never the perfect stranger:

Always something unexpected…

Downwards you direct your eye.


If you won’t make eye contact with me

I can’t co-conspire with you

A sense of community never rises up

And I can’t get enough

Of the empowerment I want to be my truth


Knowledge can be gathered

When you choose to look ahead

Observation, musing, wondering -

The world can offer inspiration! -

Yet you choose obedience instead
