Watching you
By Jfarrell
I love how you wrinkle your nose like that,
When something gets your attention;
Yes, you, look up from your keyboard.
:-)
Yep, right there, you see me?
Silly question, you can’t see me…
The small blue light…
Just look up…
Just beside your webcam…
Yay :-) you found me,
Hi
Don’t panic (I see how your chest rises and falls with fear);
I’m not the creepy greasy-haired guy, who lives opposite;
(He’s quite a nice dude, by the way, helps old ladies across the road);
He can’t help it if he sees you… then his jaw drops and he just stares…
You are stunning…
But…
If you see me looking…
I’m not slack-jawed and mesmerised;
I look; I visualize…. in lurid, sweat and blood-soaked detail;
You can see the dark, calculating hunger in my eyes
That’s why I watch you from here
Through your webcam… your phone…
I am one of the million different faces who sit in the darkness…
Paid to watch you…
Recommended to watch you..
Excited by watching you…
All you do… in detail…
In digital technicolour.
