scared
how scared you are
i see it
just behind your straight white teeth
crawling imperceptivity in your well-styled hair
there in the corners of your eyes
as you smile broadly
and there peeking out at me
from the hip pocket
of your very chic very expensive jeans
on the edges of you voice
as you talk on
and on
and on
how scared you are
almost i think
as scared as me
