The watcher is watched

The watcher is watched

A Poem by Christopher Withers
"

A quick poem exploring my tendency to over analyse everything, rather than watch things unfold.

"
Iwatch myself
watch myself
watching their dance,
my action is actioned
by panel and plan.

Significant thought
to trivial task, 
I find myself missing
that which I've hatched.

Impromptu I can do, 
in scrutinies stare,
replayed ad infinitum
pretend I don't care.

When waiting has waited
and I dare to break free,
will the watcher be waiting
or will I be free?
