The Approach
The approach is the extent of your reach
before intruding upon a personal boundary.
It states an intention without the exposure,
setting the tone for the pursuit or escape.
The approach begins at the eyes,
and may end at the waist, or at the open palm,
before imploding, exploding or fizzling out.
The approach is a delicate thing to behold.
Boundless fields of belly and cleavage
that seek to invite and mournfully scorn;
dare the approach, dependent on gazes
that lay down decision to the company kept.
Men act so passive and blatantly stare,
while women sneak glances and whispers beneath -
Neither directly nor indiscreetly;
the opposite sex with the opposite mind.
Eventually, someone dares to approach.
