Just sitting.

you're sitting in front of me
maybe three feet away at most
writing out descriptions
psychology vocabulary

learning and discovering
new ways to read me
and know exactly what I'm thinking
without me even having to open my mouth.

you're kneeling there
against the table
head down and pencil up
I'd love to talk to you
but i can't disrupt

I'm writing on paper
looking at you
writing on paper
not looking at me.

i wonder
almost more than anything
if that paper wasn't there
what you would be thinking.
and i don't think you know.
