Pondering
I wonder what I look like
Through your eyes
Am I caught in your stare
As often as I’d like
Do I remind you
Of someone familiar
Does my voice
Remind you of a song
Would you like to listen
To my stories
Or would you rather
I write about you
There’s a feeling
Hanging over me
Like I should
Get to know us
But I’m afraid if I ask
‘‘What do you think of me?’’
The answer will be
‘‘I don’t.’’
