I Pretended Not To See
I saw one of the punkest things ever.
All the curfew-free and carefree young had converged to see and be seen.
I saw him scratch the mirror.
His voice drawled slowly; “Delicious cake, would you like a slice?”
His deceit, it’s bothering me. His fashion sense showed no signs of improvement.
We had a split second eye contact.
The glimmer of bright eyes from the bed.
