Gillian Swain - #33 - seems asleep

I am too near

to the everyone

close   an instant

behind   a wall a curtain a

timepiece

can't see it

can't see for the crowd

there's one who says little

seems asleep almost

sees much

reflects more

too near to alone 

spaces with current

walk is push and keep on

tall is under   hunched shoulders

that ol' chestnut

the one who stoops

too near
