Anticipation
You’ll never know I glimpsed you
Twice before you caught me “unaware.”
I saw you there, asking for me,
As I headed down the stair-
Case you might have seen me,
I took those stairs in four’s and five’s,
Fleeing from your big surprise,
And fell into the WOMEN’s
Door.
Safe, I sat down on the floor
And stared at those tan, square
Tiles until they blurred and swam in circles.
I took deep breaths to build me back
And prepared for your attack, like
A painted face and perfect hair
Could ready me for this
Affair.
