At All

To read this silence

To understand fleeting instances when eyes meet eyes

and then find a blank wall excuse

and pretend that they never met at all

To know for certain

To divine the secrets of two shy children

who have faces made of ice and steel

but cast sidelong puppy glances across the playground

To know your thoughts

To be a letter on a scrap of paper you pushed aside

on your desk studying the wrinkles

as they crossed your face, deep in thought



would be a plain paper parcel from Heaven

       "All my best, God"

would it conceal a blessing or a curse?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It took me longer to write this than the poem itself.  Hmm... i need quicker wit.
