Through A Window of Indecision

Written 4/15/2010 as a revision of a previous poem. Look, I can do postmodern poetry! Short line free verse.

Through A Window of Indecision

you see
unexpectedly
pass by without
hitch in step
presumably awkward
exchanges avoid
a void
unintentional
eye contact

look away then
back make sure
you face a face you
recognize
the one you
said those
words to
but someone else
does it now

breath caught
in chest
heart beats
irregular, you stop
passing
halting

stop.
