Uh huh

I’ve never been more innocent than today.

I stand agape waiting for

The other shoe to drop.

I’m smiling but I can’t think 

Of anything to say.

I’m watching you

Play guitar,

Hoping you will notice me,

Hoping you will see 

That I am different from anyone else,

And hoping that difference just might be

My innocence and the difference between 

You and me speaking to one another 

Or passing by,

Like those proverbial ships in the night.

Maybe we could be ships in the day,

Who wave from afar,

And then go so far as to say hello

From real close up?
