The tall dark stranger

Poetry

stare if you want to

but I won’t suffer foolishness gladly

if you ask a stupid question, I’ll tell a wicked lie

‘the moons made of paper — and the stars all died’

stare if you want to

I know you’re not colour blind

‘do your eyes need shades to handle my shine?’

stare if you want to

I’m not here for your gaze

I’ll still be a tall, dark stranger to you anyway

stare if you want to

perhaps mind some business of your own

don’t ask me to turn my lights down low

stare if you want to

then perhaps read between the lines

the revolution was yesterday — and the party is tonight
