An Exercise in Seeing
May 2, 2007Shall I tell you what I saw?
Rain-soaked windows, a woman selling
pan de sal,
cigarettes flickering like strobes of light.
Go ahead and tell me I
should have looked at other things: speckled stones,
a piebald dog,
windows coming to life,
cigarettes gleaming with discontent, a
woman hawking sorrow and a basket of bread.
I lied, you know. I saw these, too, but I
wanted you to to tell me
you saw me, too.
