i
like the look of you
moving easily in the street
stopping to notice the clouds
the flowers
the cut-price clothes

in store windows;
eyes slipping stealthily sideways
to catch your own image in the windows
as you pass

to make sure you look
as good as you feel.

i noticed you yesterday
too
and a time or two before that
but then
i was in a haste
doing my thing
and you just flashed into my mind and vision
looking GOOD

but today
you look good
and available.
