A Split Second

It was a split second

at the most

when a stranger walked past

and just then

before leaving my world

he looked up

the way you would look up

not quite sure

above your eyelashes

to the left

and I was transported

back to there

back to the time you cared

a tear came

a mini drama played,

projected,

onto an outside screen

You Haiku

It had to be you

to reveal the work to do

yes, you, through and through

Just In Case

Just in case you had no idea

I'm putting it right out there

Just in case there was a doubt

I am letting those words out

Just in case I wasn't clear

I offer my feelings to the open air

Just in case it doesn’t show

I’ve encased them in a neon glow

Just in case I don’t tell you enough

I’ve installed them in the desert rough

Just in case you will forget

I’ve put them where the sun will set

Just in case

Just in case
