Listen To What
You’re Not Hearing
Janet Kuypers
3/28/89
I feign a smile
as the breeze comes
bouncing off the building
sweeping around
the backs of my legs
When the breeze
took my hair
it licked your face
You were annoyed
I wasn’t surprised
You asked me
what was wrong
I said, "nothing"
And you believed me
I’m not trying to
make any moves
anymore
because I’m afraid
I’ll make the
wrong move
I don’t mean to
annoy you
Listen to
what you’re not
hearing
