   i’ve noticed that people
   don’t notice people
   focusing intently
   at nothing

   would be interesting to switch genders and see if it works:
   Just because you turn
   slowly slowly
   to check him out
   slowly
   as he walks past
   doesn’t mean
   that he don’t notice.
   does it? if not, why not? you need to write a thesis on use and impact of gender in poetry. or, you could purchase the thesis online. either way, i see a book tour.
   “England’s sun was SLOWLY setting o’er the hill-tops far away,
   Filling all the land with beauty at the close of one sad day;
   And its last rays kissed the forehead of a man and maiden fair,—
   He with footsteps slow and weary; she with sunny, floating hair;
   He with bowed head, sad and thoughtful; she with lips so cold and white,
   Struggled to keep back the murmur, “Curfew must not ring to-night.””
   —Rose Hartwick Thorpe (1850– ?), Curfew must not ring Tonight.
